Akufo-Addo was not on top of issues at SoNA 2021
Reacting to the SoNA on JoyNew’s PM Express on Tuesday, monitored by GhanaPlus.com, the MP who was representing his constituent for the fourth consecutive time in the legislative house said the President was not on top of issue as he was popularly known for.
He attributed the development to either ill-preparedness or lack of confident in his own words adding that even the little he was able to present did not reflect the true state of the nation.
“The President today was not on top of his own speech. He could not owned his own speech, for reasons no one knows either he failed to prepared or he wasn’t confident in some of the things that he was saying that for me is very very deformitive, he could not pronounced properly not one word, very important word for the sentence but we could count close to 15 to 20 of them”.
“He was rumbling, he wasn’t very articulate as himself as we know him to be and what I saw today I wasn’t impressed.”
