He said:

“Given comparative analysis, that is not to say, I am blaming the government of Ghana, but there are divergent applications of government policy.

“If you have been following events in Ghana, you would see that over the last one year and if you follow the indices, you find out that it is not the same thing that is happening in the two countries. What Mr President is doing in redirecting the economy is on the right path. Mr President is very confident.

“The idea of the ruling party losing the election, that will not happen.”
