Communication member of the New Patriotic Party, Awal Mohammed, has ranked former President John Agyekum Kufuor as the most successful President in the 4th republic.
Speaking in an interview with Kwaku Dawuro, on Movement In The Morning on Wontumi radio/Movement TV, Awal mentioned some notable things the former President did during his tenure, and commended him for some pertinent issues he addressed in his speech.
He said ”Amongst the past Presidents like the late Rawlings, John Evans Atta Mills, John Mahama and John Agyekum Kufuor, i can say he is the most successful. There are two profound statements he made, which are counsel of state and term limit. Fiffi Quartey of the National Democratic Congress, strongly opposed his suggestion that the tenure for the presidency should be extended to five years instead of four years.
If you check his intervention in 2001-2004, it was during those years he brought about Masloc and health insurance, which was during his first term. During his second term, we saw some intervention like youth employment, school feeding and free maternity.”
