No credible remedial plans have been put forward by the govt to salvage the economy–JDM
Former President John Dramani Mahama has said, from the look of things, that there appears to be no end to the problems facing the Ghanaian economy as he calls for a national dialogue on the economy. Read John Dramani post below: There appears to be no end to the problems with the Ghanaian economy, with the recent downgrade to CCC+/C Junk status. The steep depreciation of the Ghana Cedi in recent days, clearly shows that the mid-year review of the 2022 budget failed to win back the confidence of the investor community and the Ghanaian public. Unfortunately, no credible remedial plans have been put forward by the government to salvage the economy. A national dialogue on the economy, bringing some of our best brains together will serve us well, even as we prepare for debt restructuring and negotiation of an IMF programme.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Suspends Nephew for Supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President of Christ Embassy Church Worldwide, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has suspends his nephew, Daysman Oyakhilome, for endorsing the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Apexnewsgh.com report The Nigeria 2023 election is around the corner and any good reasoning Nigerian and Nigerians have asked God to give us a leader who would save Nigeria from sinking. So far, even though some other candidates are contesting the 2023 election position, only three main candidates are well known in the contest. Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of All Progressive Congress (APC). However, so far, is evident that Nigerians want a change of government because of a lot of factors ranging from insecurity, devaluing of Nigerian to a dollar, and hardship bedeviling the ordinary Nigerian. However, Peter Obi is ahead of the two other candidates. Is no surprise that Chris Oyakhilome suspended his nephew for supporting the APC government because every well-meaning Nigerian who wants to see a new Nigeria is praying for Peter Obi to be the next Nigeria President.

UER: President Akufo-Addo left Agenda 111 site in Katanga because …..
The Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu has revealed, that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wasn’t pleased with the level of work done by the contractor in charge of Agenda 111 in Katanga a community in the Bolgatanga East District of the Upper East Region. Apexnewsgh.com report As part of President Akufo-Addo’s itinerary for his one-day tour to the Upper East Region, he was supposed to visit Katanga a community in the Bolgatanga East District just after commissioning the Tono water expansion project in Navrongo. But sadly, it appears President Akufo-Addo’s mood automatically changed immediately after he arrived at the site scene and saw what looks like foundation-level work already done by the contractor in charge. However, immediately, the already organized durbar to welcome the president was brought to a standstill and he immediately turned his car and left the scene. The Chiefs, elders, and people of Bolgatanga East were not satisfied with the action they witnessed hence, it has become a talking point. Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com engaged the Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu in an exclusive interview, the Minister who was not excited with such drama witnessed at the site scene said: “The question is why are other contractors doing well and others are not doing well? According to Mr. Yakubu, “Is not the making of government, the party or the President, is the making of the contractor. The problem is not as if the government has not given mobilization to the contractors, it has been done. So is not a money matter”. He stressed “So, we took the President there and he got there and saw what was there. So, he wasn’t very pleased that is it. Is not about location, because the location is usually decided at the base level with DCE and the DCE also didn’t do it alone, he did it in consultation with the chiefs and the elders. As you saw, the Chiefs were happy to come there to meet with the President”. He disregards the ‘location’ rumor “If you look at the location, there are more people living around the site. That wasn’t an issue. The issue was the contractor not actually moving as fast as the President wanted him to and that was the reason why the president thought that he has seen it and things are not pretty good”. We have about 8 of these Agenda 111 in this region and if you look at the other areas such as the Bawku areas, they are doing very well, it is just the BONABOTO area here that they are really not doing fantastic work and I have been on them. Regional Minister told Apexnewsgh.com Below was the level of work captured by Apexnewsgh.com during our visit Katanga Agenda 111.

JUST IN: Fumbisi Rice Factory not under One District One Factory—Regional Minister
The Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu has revealed, that the party removed the Fumbisi Rice Factory from the President’s itinerary because it wasn’t part of government One District One Factory. Apexnewsgh.com report Mr. Yakubu made the revelation during an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on Sunday, August 7, 2022. A few days before President Akufo-Addo’s arrival in the region, a lot of interviews were granted to some members of the governing New Patriotic (NPP) on various local radio stations, print and online media in the region to ascertain plans and where the president will be going and the role he will be performing at the programme venue. Then, in their individual responses, Fumbisi Rice Factory, Commissioning of Tono expansion water project, and Visit Bolga East Kantaga Agenda 111 were all mentioned by party executives who were creating awareness ahead of the President’s coming. In fact, at one of the radio stations, the issue of the Fumbisi Rice factory became a tough debate between the NPP representative and the Opposition NDC representative. The NDC was of the view that the Fumbisi Rice Factory has nothing to do with the 1D1F policy initiative, whiles the NPP representative claimed strongly that the Rice project is part of 1D1F. However, barely a day after the President’s Visit to the region, the Fumbisi Rice Factory was removed from the original itinerary plan for the president tour. That has raised some kind of questions, especially from members of the opposition NDC who are still asking questions upon questions about why the President could not visit the Fumbisi Rice Factory as planned. Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com engaged the Regional Minister for some clarification on the numerous questions asked, he said “Initially we thought that it was part of the One District One Factory though. I think they are working on it, they are not fully part of the 1D1F. Therefore, we didn’t want to go and commission a private person’s factory”. Reg. Minister told Apexnewsgh.com He confirmed, “The factory came up because President went there in 2018, went to the Fumbisi area and a lot of people there and saw the rice farm and that actually brought a lot of investors there and therefore, is as a result of that this has come up”. Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com contacted the Builsa South District Chief Executive (DCE) Daniel Kwame Gariba, he claimed the owner of the factory was the one who requested that the President should come for the Rice Factory commissioning.
