President Akufo-Addo won the 2016 general election on the back of several promises he made to Ghanaians including the restoration of teacher and nursing trainee allowances, rebuilding of a stable and robust economy, repayment of DKM victims money, free education and restructuring of the NHIS, raising the hopes of Ghanaians for massive progress and development of the country.
But after only six weeks in power, former Communications Minister in the Mahama administration that lost the 2016 election to NPP explains that the good will from Ghanaians that Akufo-Addo enjoyed and rode on to victory has vanished.
According to Omane Boamah, Akufo-Addo has failed so far to align his words with the necessary actions.
Making reference to a section of Ghanaians who were to benefit from particular promises, Omane Boamah indicated that they had lost hope in the government’s ability to live up to their promises.
“They talk about good will of the Ghanaian people. It worked for them during the election because they went about on the lofty promises knowing very well what they knew about the economy they were going to give excuses. There’s no point arguing with the electorate agreed with them and gave them the mandate”
“…that person in the Brong Ahafo Region, that person in the Upper West Region, that person who is a victim of the DKM scandal, that person who is a victim of the ‘God is love’ scandal whose promise has not being paid, who voted for the NPP because of the lofty promise that the money was going to be paid has lost hope because that person does not see practice been aligned with the promise 6 weeks after the Akufo-Addo administration started working”.
President Akufo-Addo reiterated his government’s commitment to delivering on the promises they made to Ghanaians ahead of the 2016 elections when he appeared before parliament on 21st February 2017 to present his maiden SONA.
Omane Boamah expressed these sentiments in his reaction to the content of the President's maiden SONA on Alhaji and Alhaji show on Radio Gold.

Yes am losing hope in nana addo bcos he has allowed criminals to have a field day to run around to accuse him.yes i agree with you .
Yes Ghanaians are losing hope because people like you are still walking free instead of being jailed for the economic atrocities you have committed against the state. Until someone of you are incarcerated permanently we shall continue to lose hope in Nana Addo. Nanses
***barred word*** talk, who and who started complaining. It's like you just wake up from dream
Omane Boamah should give us a break. Just six weeks into the term of a government,and he is talking about people losing hope? As for that studios of Radio Gold, I wonder what is in it that whenever these NDC guys get there, they speak as if they are possessed by some evil spirits. He should go back and refer to what the government that he was part of was able to achieve in the first six weeks of its term. Oman Boamah should not use his ranting to divert attention from the call being on them to render account for their stewardship.
Omane you are such a looser and bitterness will kill you slowly.
Your dead brain deceiving you.
DEVIL's ILLUSION
SEE THIS GOOD FOR NOTHING STEALERS. LOSING HOPE IN WHO. ? YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY.
Who told you that? You spend 8 years to put the nation in s*** and you expect it to be cleaned in one month, shame create, loot and share brigade.
