Director of Local Government Services at the Office of the President, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has asserted that President Akufo-Addo's legacy will be etched into the consciousness of Ghanaians due to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic during his tenure.

He said despite various negative tags labeled against the President especially by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ghanaians will forever be grateful to him for his remarkable feat in combatting the pandemic.

“The President said that we didn't have resources for that situation so he admitted at one point that we needed help, we needed resources, and that he didn’t consider how much the nation would lose in terms of finances, because if he did, many people may die from the pandemic.

“He even stated that we know how to revive the economy and we don't know how to revive a dead person and he knew very well that Ghana did not have a budget and resources for such emergency occurrences but he improvised and salvaged the situation in 2020,” Mr Aboagye noted.

He added that has earned an enviable reputation globally as one of the countries that effectively managed the COVID-19 pandemic due to the comprehensive measures implemented by Akufo-Addo to tackle the situation.

“Today the disease has been brought under control and so all of a sudden some people want to pretend as though nothing happened but the good news is that the Ghanaians that went through the situation know and they have not forgotten. So they can do all the politics and partisanship but Ghanaians who experienced the situation know that this government did well in managing COVID,” he added.
