Former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor, has revealed that he tried his best to ensure he completed his constitutionally mandated term because he did not want a military takeover of the country.

He noted that as President of Ghana, he worked hard to ensure that the country received the necessary development in various sectors.

Kufuor, who was speaking to morning show hosts at his residence, said he had experienced military rule and did not want the country to go backwards, hence his decision to ensure that that everything is going well in the country.

“I had experienced the military regime and I did not like its consequences. So, while I was president, I worked hard to see that my term was completed and smoothly handed over to the next president of the country. I have done everything in my power to ensure that the country does not return to military rule,” he said.
