Be Thankful We’ve Akufo-Addo In Time Of Crises – Abronye To Ghanaians

Kwame Baffoe Abronye, the Bono Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has asked Ghanaians to be thankful to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP, even though the world is in trouble. Ghanaians don't have to queue for necessities

In a radio interview in Sunyani, Chairman Abronye alluded to the fact that Ghana is a developing country with its own problems caused by the global financial crisis and other factors, such as COVID-19. However, the country is on the right track in all areas thanks to the President and his government.

He said that many people in developed countries still have it worse than Ghanaians did. For example, in Lebanon, which used to be called the "Switzerland of the Middle East" because of its strong banking industry, people have to wait in line for hours every day just to buy bread.

"At the Labour Day celebrations, President Yoweri Museveni told workers' unions and government officials to eat cassava instead of bread if they couldn't find bread. However, President Akufo-Addo has made sure that there is no shortage of anything in the country." Ghanaians were reminded by Abronye.

He said that the country hasn't run out of necessities because Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP have been smart about how they run things.

Chairman Abronye said that things would have been worse in Ghana if the National Democratic Congress had been in charge during the world crisis (NDC).

The head of Bono said that Ghanaians would have had to wait in line to get gas and other services if these global crises had happened when the NDC and John Mahama were in power.

"I agree that we're having a hard time, and the president has said as much, but I'm sure that things would be worse if it weren't for the good policies put in place by the NPP government. I'm urging all Ghanaians who care about their country's economy not to believe the propaganda that the world crisis doesn't affect Ghana's economy." Abronye Said

Covid-19 has been a bad sign for our lives, but because of how the government has handled the cases, the number of cases has gone down and it is spreading less. If Ghana had been run by the Government of John Dramani Mahama instead of this government, the country would have been in a pit.

This is because the NDC government from before showed that solving problems is a problem for their party and a weakness. Ghanaians should be grateful to the President because he saved the country during COVID.

Chairman Abronye said again that checks have shown that some streets in Europe's largest countries are dark at night because of the energy crisis.

He said that Egypt is turning off city street lights and taking other austerity steps to help its weak economy. After 11 p.m., streets, squares, shops, and malls don't have any lights on because of a whole new set of austerity measures.

He said that Spain has made it a law that shops have to turn off their lights at night. He also said that Berlin is turning off the lights on 200 of its historic buildings and monuments.

Several towns and cities in Austria, Germany, and Italy have turned off business signs or cut back on street lighting. In France, 14 communes in the department of Val d'Oise, north of Paris, are testing out ways to turn off all public lighting at night. Local officials think that every night, street lights should be turned off for three and a half hours. There are already about 12,000 communes in France that turn off all or some of their public lights at night.

Finland, towns in Bulgaria have to turn off their street lights, Due to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, gas supplies from Russia have been cut off to more and more cities in Germany. As a result, more and more cities want to stop lighting their streets at night.

Chairman Abronye, on the other hand, said that the president has done a good job of making sure that our power is on all the time, which is something for which the country should be grateful.
