Ghanaians Eulogies Kufour As He Turns 80

Ghanaians have described former President John Agyekum Kufour as a deep thinker and one who possesses a fabulous memory.

According to a section of Ghanaians who spoke to Anokye Elvis of thepressradio.com in Kumasi the Ashanti Regional capital on Saturday, December 8, 2018 as Mr. Kufuor turns 8o today, his 8 years term in office brought transformation and prosperity in Ghana.

They argued that in spite of Mr. Kufour being regarded as a centre-right politician, he introduced one of the most pro-poor policies that Ghana had ever seen.

They mentioned the National Health Insurance Scheme, school feeding programme and the Metro Mass Transit (Kufour Bus) as key initiatives that reflected the president’s commitment to prioritizing the needs of the less privileged in society.

“As he turns 80 and looking at his social interventions that reduced the burden on Ghanaians in his 8 years in office I pray that God will renew his strength for him to impact his visions and deep thinking on the recent Leaders in the country” one woman said.
