He said he saw all the above elements in the SONA as delivered by the President at Parliament.

He wrote: The brevity of President Akufo-Addo’s SONA speech yesterday, is commendable. No need for a long winding speech. As the speech writer of President Atta-Mills, I used keep his speeches crisp and straight-to-the-point. Brevity is a strong mark of a focused person.
