President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has acknowledged his humanity in his effort to transform Ghana into a modern state, suggesting that mistakes will be inevitable. “They will not be mistakes borne either out of ill-will or malice,” he explained.
“They will be mistakes because I am human and we all make mistakes as human beings.” President Akufo-Addo made these remarks on Tuesday evening, when he met Ghanaians resident in Ethiopia.

He delivered the Vote of Thanks on Tuesday at the end of the Session, which he attended for the first time as President of Ghana.

He said he will put his best foot forward in this quest. “I am going to do my best. Hope my best is going to be good enough.
I will make mistakes but I can promise you they will be genuine,” he said.

And he has begun the task to first of all compile the database of all of you.” The president, who is almost a month old in office, called for the support of Ghanaians abroad in his effort to make Ghana great again. “I am going to give it my best shot and I am asking you to help me and also put your shoulder to the wheel of Ghana so that we can give our people a better life that they are aspiring to.”

BY GOD'S GRACE YOU CAN DO IT. GHANAIANS IN BOTSWANA ARE BEHIND, SUPPORTING YOU. A COUNTRY OF ONLY ONE NATURAL RESOUCES HAS BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP THEIR PEOPLE AND THEIR ECONOMY B'COS OF GOOD LEADERSHIP SO UNDER A GOOD LEADER LIKE YOU NANA YOU CAN MAKE IT.
Geniune mistakes like soldiers going after Kofi Adam because of some ***barred word*** cars.Huh is Ghanaian mentality so low that politicians will use noble professions like soldiers do perform such a cheap task. Some form of democracy & gate way to Africa indeed. And the media & journaliss across the Country sold their mental conscious as well?
genuine mistakes indeed...this mugu yaro headed man paaa...aaa.. hmmm.you are not serious at one bit. every mistake is a mistake massa stop wasting our ears.
Your mistakes will be genuine mistakes, whose mistakes were deliberate. For the genuine mistakes of others, they faced firing squad, went to jail or were tagged incompetent. You better not make any of those mistakes because Ghanaians would not consider them genuine. Etua wo yonko hon aa etua dua hon

Nana , we pray for you. As human you will surely make mistakes,but it shouldn't be deliberate,and be humble to accept your faults.May God bless you,and bless our beautiful country,Ghana.

Indeed this is mature President,with all humility.Long live Nana,God bless Ghana.
It is the mistakes we have made from our independence inception days to date that have come defined in our presence we are here to correct for growth. I do not know where greatness comes defined in the process of Ghana's march to growth...to building a strong vibrant economy for herself as a nation state. The eminent leaders that wrested freedom for our independence administration never learnt, and never had learnt, how any worthwhile nation state economy builds. Kwame Nkrumah never built Ghana's economy; Kwame Nkrumah prepared the ground for the nation state of Ghana to build a viable economy. All the subsequent administration that have come after have woefully failed. Our new era, beginning with the Nana Akufo-Addo NPP administration, is going to pave the way for the work all Ghanaians must dutifully do: build, nay create and sustain an economy that is vibrant. This is a clarion call for huge working education from which all must imbibe. It is a huge huge demanding work. And we kill ourselves doing it for the Ghana nation state.
