The UAE prince expressed his deep concern for Ghana and confirmed that he holds special soft corner for the commons. When country was facing power outages for long, he got worried as according to him if a nation is not supplied with enough electricity then problems like halt in business activities, increased unemployment, fall in socio-economic development, misery come into picture as infrastructure of power is one of the sources, which contribute in a Nation’s development.

He denied all statements made by Norwegian tabloid, Verdens Gang (VG) which according to him was misfeasance and shall be disregarded.

He has lived here in Dubai as a legal resident for more than a decade and has a clean record here.”

He even mentioned that he will continue to contribute to the development of Ghana irrespective of change of government as he holds no interest in any political party.
