According to him, even though the 1D1F policy is an initiative of his rival New Patriotic Party (NPP), it is in the interest of the people and worth supporting.
He said "We took the 1D1F for a joke but we have realized that it can employ the whole community. The surprising thing is that the fishers are also planting pineapples for the Ekumfi factory."

Speaking on Accra-based Kingdom FM, Allotey Jacobs said the people in the Central Region who have had the opportunity to work in the factory should put in efforts to maintain the factory as the factory is translating money into the people's pockets.
He, however, appealed to entrepreneurs and investors to support the NPP Government initiative and also help to create about 20 more factories in the Central Region for the benefit of the locals.
