Dr. Nana Kwame Nkrumah in a telephone interview told the Chronicle newspaper that, looking at the impressive performance by the trade and industry Minister with 125 factories established and over 160,000 employment opportunities created, Ghanaians will trust Alan more than his competitors.

Ghana's current President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, heaped kind words on the flagship intervention scheme birthed by the current Trade and Industry Minister, Hon. Alan Kyerematen.

"Thus far the 125 factories operating under the 1D1F project have so far employed one hundred and sixty thousand, eight hundred and twenty-three(160,823) people, who, hitherto, would far, the one hundred and twenty-five (125) factories operating under this have been at home twiddling their thumbs, with no hope in sight", part of the President's speech read.

Dr. Nkrumah leaned on these success stories from the Alan camp to suggest that the ascension of Alan Kyerematen to the Presidential throne was only a matter of time.

The lecturer emphatically hinted at the imminent transition of power from HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo to Alan Kyerematen come December 7, 2024.
