Bishop T.D. Jake praises Nana Addo

And, in case you are not up to speed on how things are going in Africa; Ghana is one of Africa’s wealthiest countries; he [President Akufo-Addo] has completely turned it around.”

“It is the largest producer of gold on the continent and the world’s second-largest producer of cocoa”, Jakes explained, adding: “Under President Akufo-Addo’s leadership, Ghana has emerged as a booming tech centre – even welcoming Twitter”.

Aside from that, T.D. Jakes said: “President Akufo-Addo is also working to transform Ghana into key travel destinations, particularly for Americans but particularly, for African-Americans and the African diaspora and aggressively promoting investment in the country”.

Over the last couple of years, he told the audience, “Ghana’s government has set aside 500 acres of land for foreigners looking to resettle there”.

Let me explain to all of you African-Americans – Ghana’s move to embrace African-Americans has particular significance because some of the largest ports of slavery [were] from Ghana and, so, the return home and some of the amenities that he’s extending [are] a step toward healing and restoration,” Jakes explained.

He said: “Imagine the prodigal son coming back home and the father running to meet him and welcoming him back home. It has tremendous significance and he’s done some amazing things in that regard”.

We’re thrilled, delighted to welcome President Akufo-Addo and several other esteemed leaders to the next International Leadership Summit,” he added.

The American pastor praised Akufo-Addo saying: “The man is brilliant; he’s just smart”.

In his view, President Akufo-Addo has totally transformed Ghana.

"I went to Accra, which is the capital of Ghana, many many years ago and it was about a seven-year gap since I’ve been there before. When I first went there, there were a lot of dirt roads and people just in meagre gear and what have you and very few buildings and nice hotels and seven years later, I came back and there were interstates, highways, hotels, five-star accommodations, restaurants everywhere, there’s nothing like great leadership".
