Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu has dismissed claims that the President has become unpopular among Ghanaians.
According to him, “the enthusiasm and overwhelming reception that President Mahama received on this tour is a clear indication that he still remains a very popular leader who is appreciated by his people for the significant amount of work that he is doing to ensure their wellbeing.”
Last Monday, President Mahama began his 'Accounting to the People' tour of the country ahead of the 2016 elections campaign which is expected to start in the next few months.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold, the Deputy Minister narrated that during the tour, the President was “ambushed by inhabitants of some communities who insisted that he address them or they were not going to pave way for his convoy to pass.”
This, he said is indicative that Ghanaians are “willing and receptive to the President’s message at any time.”
He said it also shows that all the investments the Mahama government has made in the various sectors of the economy “have gone down well with our people and whereas there is room for further improvement, it is something that is appreciated; it is something that is impacting positively on the lives of the people.”
Mr. Kwakye-Ofosu remarked that the positive outcome of the President’s tour discredits attempts by critics of the President that his government is not wanted by the people.
“It is a government that the people want, it is a government that is alive to its responsibility to enhance the wellbeing of the people,” he said.
