‘You can’t change Akufo-Addo’s destiny’
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been ordained by God to perform creditably well, and this is reflecting on his good performance in the administration of this country and all sectors of the economy, Dr. Kofi Amponsah-Bediako, Director of Corporate Communications at the Ghana Standards Authority, has said.
He therefore, said, “no matter the opposition that comes his way, he will make it and take Ghana to the ‘promised land.’”
Dr. Amponsah-Bediako, a Public Relations and Marketing Practitioner who doubles as a political scientist, was predicting who stood the chance of winning the forthcoming presidential election, slated for December 7.
He said in education, health, agriculture, environment, fight against corruption and transportation, among others, Nana Akufo-Addo had performed so well with his administration that all Ghanaians and the rest of the world are praising him for a good work done.
Dr. Amponsah-Bediako pointed out that programmes like the free SHS, Planting for Food and Jobs, positive changes in the cocoa sector, building of infrastructure in the health sector, including one ambulance one constituency and the use of drones to improve performance in the health sector, among others, were all evidence of the great works being done by the Ghanaian President.
This, he explained, was why even the angels of heaven and God Himself had ordained him to continue with his good works until 2024.
Political gimmicks and tricks, according to the PR ans Marketing expert, will be used against him to bring him down, “but the hand of God is already upon him, so his political opponents and detractors will all fail in their negative and destructive agenda.”
He stressed that “God has already blessed him to take Ghana to the promised land and ensure that the country is raised to a high pedestal of development.”
Dr. Amponsah-Bediako, said “what God has put together, no man can turn asunder” so in the same way, President Akufo-Addo’s destiny had been determined by God as a great leader who has been made to appear at this time to take the country to its glorious heights.
All political opponents in the race for the presidency and parliamentary seats, Dr. Amponsah-Bediako pointed out, should bear this in mind and avoid “manufacturing atrocious lies against Nana Akufo-Addo because none of them can change the path and the will of God.”
He prayed for peace in the country before, during and after the elections, pointing out that the poll results which would be announced by certain individuals should only be used as guides, because God Himself will let us know the actual results which may even be higher than had been predicted.

THE Times Ladies Association, a group consisting of female staff of the New Times Corporation (NTC), on Monday commemorated this year’s International Women’s Day with a call on women to empower themselves through education, unity and healthy living to contribute meaningfully to national development.
The event, held at the NTC’s boardroom, was attended by management members and staff of the corporation and was to celebrate the achievements of women and reflect on their role in society.
In her address, the President of the association, Mrs Georgina N.M Quaittoo, said the global celebration, marked annually on March 8, recognised the economic, political and social achievements of women while raising awareness about gender equality.
Although the international celebration fell on Sunday, she explained that the association decided to mark the occasion on March 9 to enable members to participate fully and commemorate the day in their own way.
Speaking on this year’s theme: ‘Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls,’ and the global campaign theme: ‘Give to Gain,’ she the association had over the years worked tirelessly to support the growth and progress of the corporation despite the challenges they faced.
Urged members to commit themselves to deeper service to humanity and the advancement of women. She said women were unique, resilient and invaluable to society, stating that they deserved respect, appreciation, kindness and love for the vital roles they played in families, workplaces and communities.
According to her, members of the President, who is also the Editor of The Spectator newspaper, encouraged members to empower themselves academically and take advantage of opportunities to improve their lives and careers.
She also urged them to maintain healthy lifestyles by going for regular medical check-ups, exercise regularly, get enough rest and support one another.
Moreover, she advised members to accept leadership positions when given the opportunity and to exhibit qualities such as hard work, confidence, patience, compassion and responsibility in both their homes and workplaces.
Contributing, the Chanel Marketing and Circulation Manager, Mr Alfred Koomson, said women played critical roles in society and deserved to be supported and appreciated.
He urged men to recognise that they were often vulnerable species without the care, support and contributions of women in their lives.
He, therefore, commended women for the invaluable roles they play as mothers, caregivers, professionals and leaders, stressing that society would be incomplete without them.
