An independent presidential candidate, Dr. Sam Ankrah has charges president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo to return to parliament t and give the real state of the Nation since the recent one he gave did not reflect the true state of the Nation.
According to him “typical of the NPP-NDC Administrations for the past 30 years, this year’s State of the Nation Address sang praises to a mediocre and painful past, instead of setting stepping stones into the nation’s future.”
READ FULL STATEMENT
As usual, this SONA made a mockery of our bitter and bleak economic circumstances by gaslighting Ghanaians to accept the illusion that, our lives and livelihoods are far better off – in direct opposition to the harsh realities we wake up to every day.
Again, as usual, the opposition’s response has been nothing but a playful walk over the address, instead of laying building blocks for our future.
Worse still, in the coming weeks, Ghanaians will be subjected to a free-for-all drinking-bar-styled parliamentary banter, which amounts to no change at all in the woeful plight of Ghanaians:
Our healthcare systems would remain chronically impaired, our children’s education and future would remain uncertain, and our youth’s unemployment status gets more depressing year after year, with some remaining jobless 5 painful, wasted years after leaving school, because there’s zero effort by those at the helm of affairs towards mass industrialization. And as at our 66th independence anniversary, just a couple of days ago, we’re in deep prayers, sheepishly awaiting loan approval from our long-time creditors.
Yet, at the end of it all, two situations shall be guaranteed:
(1) The NPP-NDC would pay themselves in full, their huge ex-gratias, in addition to all that they’re enjoying with their families and allies now;
(2) Our situation would remain unchanged or even worse.
The time to wrestle our independence from the self-serving NPP-NDC fraternity is long overdue. They should NOT be the ones leading our nation into our 70th post-independence milestone.
We are exhausted!
We are tired!
We are worn out!
We want out of this painful, empty relationship!
Enough Is Enough!
