Former Member of Parliament for Nantong, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed says President Akufo-Addo failed to give Ghanaians the ‘true state of the economy’ on Thursday.
“He wasted an opportunity he gets once a year on praise-singing…” he indicated.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Thursday, 8th February, 2018, presented his second State of The Nation Address (SoNA) to parliament.
Addressing Members of Parliament, former Presidents, government officials and other dignitaries who were gathered in the House, President Akufo-Addo touted his government’s achievements within its first year in office in a speech which was broadcast across the country.
However, Murtala contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji said: “the President instead of telling the people of this country the true state of our economy, engaged to a very large extent in praise-singing. Praising-singing because he singled out his ministers for praises and for me that was the highest level of mediocre”
“He (Akufo-Addo) started with the Vice President, Minister of Employment; who has not created any job, first Vice President; I am referring to the Senior Minister, Osafo Maafo, Minister for Regional Reorganisation & Development; Dan Botwe, Minister for local government; Hajia Alima Mahama, Minister for Aviation; what has the minister done? Minister for communication, Ursula Owusu, Minister of Health…”
According to Ibrahim Murtala, Akufo-Addo praised his ministers ‘just to justify’ the ‘needless’ appointment of the 110 appointees and asked that he (President) leaves the assessment of his ministers to Ghanaians.

These Northern politicians are actually behaving like the known "Ntafour we know. They don't respect even the president. When Mahama was the president, almost 90% of the ministers were northererns and the country went backwards. Do these ***barred word*** ntafour think that they will be voted to power again? These NDC ***barred word*** should give us a break
When John Mahama called people to parliament to sing his praise during SONA where was Mutala? Mahama called people to come and lie that they have received money for pig farming and are making billions of cedis out of it. This ssttuppidd boy called Mutala needs a good slap.
IGNORE THIS ***barred word***.
NDC Northerner Politicians are rude and disrespectful to our President. How dare them! Murtala is quite offensive but a complete ***barred word*** arrogant oaf. They behave like Ghana belongs to them alone. It’s so sad to read this boring uninformed childish comments. They are lazy and corrupt. Keep quiet, you lot. We are all tired of you.
Surprisingly this man with low I.Q. had an opportunity represent a constituency in parliament.
NDC has no no shame at all in all they do bcos with the current mess they left they should be the least to talk good about what the incorruptible prez of the Republic has done. This is not bus branding, Woyomeism, SSNIT software, opunism, GYEEDA, SIDA OR Create lut and share matter ok. Even in opposition ndc is stillllll incompetent. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU
its never your fault ,we blame Kwame Nkrumah who granted free education for northerners like Adonko, muntala, Ayariga, and allthe politcians from the north excluding Dr alhagi Bawumia.God will punish you one after the other.
