I said I was going to build a landing site like what I\u2019ve done in these six other places in the Central Region. Cape Coast will also have its landing site, and the construction of that will start next year.\u201d<br \/>\nJustifying his statement, President Akufo-Addo referenced Page 88 of the NPP\u2019s 2020 Manifesto, dubbed Leadership of Service: Protecting our Progress, Transforming Ghana for All.<br \/>\nBut speaking on Peace FM, Wednesday, October 21, 2021, he said presidents are humans and not supermen; because they make mistakes. President Akufo-Addo used the opportunity to apologize to the people of Cape Coast.<br \/>\n\u201cLet me just confess it, I made a mistake,\u201d President Akufo-Addo repeatedly told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM, Thursday, October 21, 2021.<br \/>\nHe explained, &#8220;in looking at the manifesto \u2013 and I try to do that before I go \u2013 I saw one page which talks about the landing site but I did dont go any further&#8230;<br \/>\n\u201cEven with the mistake, we have to rethink a lot of things, we have a harbour in Elmina which is being developed right now, obviously Takoradi and Elmina and we another one projected for Cape Coast&#8230;I think some rethinking has to go on for us to be able to find value for money arrangement&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n\u201cBut it was a mistake and I have to apologise to the people of Cape Coast and the Central Region for that mistake. Presidents are human after all, we are not supermen. We make mistakes,\u201d Akufo-Addo stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
