President Akufo-Addo had stated his intention to hand over power to someone he can trust, who can continue his achievements for the benefit of the country.

“I can’t hand over to someone I defeated twice and who is not happy with everything I do; he will destroy the work that I have done.

“Vote for Dr. Bamwua; I have worked with him for the past seven and a half years; I have confidence in him; I know he can continue the good work,” Akufo-Addo said.
