Stephen Kwaku Saahene, National Organizer of United Progressive Party has called on president Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to resume at  work as a matter of urgency to serve the interest of Ghanaians.
According to Saahene,a president is voted for to serve and not to be served.
He was of the view that, Ghana has alot of problems that need to be addressed by the president so the president going on leave wouldn’t solve our economic challenges.
The 2020 Bantama parliamentary candidate on the ticket of UPP  revealed that,Nana Addo is one of the Presidents in Africa  who has proceeded on leave severally  without attending to the cropping issues in the country.
Saahene noted that,there are a lot on the table for the president to attend to so the president going on leave without attending to these issues is a sign of failure on the part of the NPP and it’s governing bodies.
Saahene hinted that over 7,000 residents in the Volta Region have been rendered homeless because of heavy downpour.
Yet the president sits aloof without responding to their plea and is enjoying with his sidechicks where he finds himself.
