‘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.

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
