Ace broadcaster Paul Adom-Otchere has said President Nana Akufo-Addo has proven to Ghanaians he is a leader you can trust.
Singling the Free SHS programme as one of the biggest achievements of President Akufo-Addo, Paul Adom-Otchere told told Class FM that : “One thing I have to admire about Akufo-Addo is his confidence to establish the free SHS as a policy; that I admire about him and that I give him full marks for; and I was hoping he would be able to do that and the fact that he was able to do that is a big plus for him because this is something that other politicians could have done”.
In the view of Metro Tv’s ‘Good Evening Ghana’ show host, “The economy that Akufo-Addo inherited in 2017 was worse than the economy that was inherited in 2009 and 2012”, explaining: “The governments of that day were not confident and bold enough to establish Free SHS”.
“Now, that is important because in the history of our country, the reason why Ghana became important to Africa, apart from the great leadership of the Osagyefo, was because education in Ghana was free and it was qualitative and, so, when a President comes and, against all odds, says: ‘I want to establish it as a policy’ and puts his foot down to do it amidst all the difficulties that we are seeing, that’s a leader that you can trust – I think”, Mr Adom-Otchere said.
