The suspended Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Paul Afoko has reiterated the need for Ghanaians to manage their expectations of the incoming government.

“Rome was not built in a day, Nana Addo as an individual can’t do for Ghana what Ghanaians expect. It’s down to all of us in our own small ways to ensure that our project Ghana works.

“Of course Nana and the campaign team made many promises to Ghanaians and we all know that these promises are such that you don’t deliver them within 24hrs, there’s no magic wand and I believe that those promises are promises that will, in the end, inure to the benefits of all Ghanaians.

“It requires hard work and I ask for patience, tolerance, cooperation and unity on the part of all Ghanaians so that we can see these come to pass,” Mr Afoko said on Accra-based 3FM.

The President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo in a recent address to the Muslim community in Ghana pledged to keep his electoral promises.

“I want to assure you that we are going to do all the things that we" promised during the elections.

“Free secondary school education, the revival of the NHIS, one district one factory, one village one dam, Zongo Development Fund, all of these are matters that we are going to address and do to promote the welfare and progress of the country", he said.

But Mr Afoko believes all those promises would not be realised if Ghanaians do not give the president-elect the needed support.

“So I ask for cooperation that we allow the NPP government to look seriously at how it will implement its promises. We must all manage our expectations of this new government. Looking at the timetable ahead of us, I don’t think everything in terms of governance structure and machinery will be in place by March 2017. The new government needs time to review what will be handed over to it. It’s a huge task and calls for time,” he said.
