Contrary to what critics have been peddling, President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will be a humble president who will not be conceited, former legal advisor to ex-president John Agyekum Kufuor, Vicky Bright, has said.
The private legal practitioner, a staunch member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), held the view: “Nana is already working, he has hit the ground hard and he will deliver on his promise; anything else that comes we will look at it. One thing is very clear: that everybody has learnt from their lessons and Nana Addo Dankwa is not going to be an arrogant president.”
Ms Bright, who was expressing her thoughts on the NPP government to be sworn in early next year, said on Monday December 12: “He (Akufo-Addo) is very humble; he has put God before anything. He is very much aware that God delivered him this victory and [is] asking that we pray for him because it’s a serious job.”
She told host Prince Minkah that Mr Akufo-Addo as president will provide visionary leadership to transform the economy and provide wealth for citizens.
According to her, like Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Dubai has done in his country, President-elect Akufo-Addo will do same for Ghanaians.
“When I first went to Dubai I was in awe. I just kept thinking: ‘This is pure desert sand which has been transformed.’ So I actually felt very sad the first time I went to Dubai…because these guys only have sand and they started before the oil, but the guy had vision, the sheikh had vision and that is what is lacking in most (countries) on our continent. And so Africa needs visionary leadership and we in the NPP believe that that kind of visionary leadership is what by God’s grace Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is going to provide Ghana and move us from where we are,” she added.
