Aside from those policies, she said she had undertaken a number of projects through the Rebecca Foundation during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's eight-year reign that were changing and improving the lives of the citizenry.

Mrs Akufo-Addo said this when she hosted traditional priests, priestesses and warlords of the Ga State to thank them for their support towards the successful rule of her husband, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, over the past seven years.

She used the occasion to introduce Alma Naa Djama Adade-Prempeh, wife of the running-mate of the NPP Flag bearer, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who is also a native of the Ga State, to the traditional priests and priestesses and asked them for their prayer and support for her as the wife of the incoming Vice-President.

Projects

Mrs Akufo-Addo mentioned, among other things, the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of the KorleBu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), the 50-bed capacity of the Sunshine Hostel at the hospital to serve as accommodation for parents and guardians of children with cancers, 20 libraries built across the country and crèches built around market centres to cater for children of traders.

The First Lady said President Akufo-Addo had fulfilled many of his promises to Ghanaians and mentioned, particularly, the free senior high school policy, which had made it possible for all BECE candidates to freely access secondary education, and the construction of fishing harbours.

She said the country was moving smoothly and needed to be left in the good hands of Dr Bawumia and Dr Opoku Prempeh to continue the good works of the NPP.

"Dr Bawumia is the best bet for Ghana. We shouldn't let Dr Bawumia slip through our hands," she told the gathering.

She promised to continue her NGO work after leaving office as first lady.

Mrs Prempeh, for her part, assured the people that when the NPP wins the elections, she will step in as the second lady and continue the good work that Mrs Akufo-Addo was doing for the Ga State and all Ghanaians.
