He continued: “Unfortunately, people don’t even want to think and believe that we can actually do things better than the more advanced countries. People have the mindset that we have to be behind them always but I say no, we can move forward and we can overtake them.”

“You must have the confidence that you can do things that are better than what America or the US can do, and in Ghana, we have been able to do a digital property addressing system that is better than what America or the US has.”

Former NDC flagbearer, John Mahama, had a rally in Cape Coast said Ghana's digital addressing is fraud and have, thus, tagged it as "419."
