Percival Kofi Akpaloo, founder and leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) has reiterated his conviction of winning the 2024 presidential election having been informed by the Holy Spirit.
He says although his party is not as big as the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), he is confident of usurping both in the December elections due to the assurance the Holy Spirit has given him.
Speaking with Captain Smart on Onua TV Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Mr. Akpaloo, whose presidential ambition began in 2012, having been disqualified by the EC and contested in subsequent polls noted that Ghanaians are going through the recent challenges as a doing of the Holy Spirit, so that the same Holy Spirit will bring him to take them out the challenges.
He said his child benefit and unemployment support system is one of the major interventions he will introduce to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians.
When asked “so the Holy Spirit has caused Ghanaians this hardship to bring you to resolve it?”, he responded in the affirmative, adding that “If I become President, I’ll pay every child child support every month as being done in other countries. When you go to abroad, many people are not working but they are given unemployment support. Children are given child benefit, so why can’t we do it here? So I’ll pay unemployment benefit.”
Akpaloo said he will leverage on the natural resources of the state to provide that support by ensuring that the percentage of dividends taken away by foreign investors will be revised.
Meanwhile, he said many people are suffering because Ghanaians lack understanding of politics. He says an NPP person cannot help and NDC person and vice versa because people have not appreciated the beauty of politics.
He made the comments in relation to the contracts he has obtained from this government making people tag him as an NPP.
“An NPP person cannot help an NDC person and an NDC person cannot help an NPP person because we have not understood politics very well” adding that people from the same family have shared different political backgrounds, citing John Abdulai Jinapor of the opposition NDC and his brother, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor of the governing NPP.
