Ghana’s President H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that he is in full support of the idea limit for Presidents in the country.
He indicated that this was not only appropriate for the country’s nascent democracy but that it also injected fresh ideas into the governance system of the country.
“It promotes stability of our democracy; speaking personally, I support the idea of term limit for Presidents — it prevents abuse of office and coups d’état,” he said.
President Akufo-Addo in an interview with a Kumasi-based radio station he affirmed that the country had been enjoying political stability since 1992 because the people had the opportunity every four years to use the ballot box to decide whether to change a government or maintain it in office.
“Using the ballot box has contributed to the stability of our country. People believe that if a leader is not doing well, they can vote against that leader in four years. We don’t need a coup d’etat to change someone,” he stated.
