Tamale North lawmaker, Alhassan Suhuyini, has said that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has destroyed the confidence that people had in him prior to becoming president.
In his view, it would have served Mr Akufo-Addo better if he had remained an opposition leader rather than becoming the head of state.
Suhuyini was speaking in an interview with Media General’s Johnnie Hughes on the Sunrise show on 3FM on Wednesday, February 28 while commenting on the State of the Nation address delivered by the president on Tuesday, February 27.
He expressed disappointment in the address.
“It is such a tragedy that his excellency Nana Akufo Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia became leaders in this country, the former broadcaster said.
Asked what advice he would give to the president if he met him, Suhuyinianserede “It is too late for him to take any advice, I think it would have been better if he had stayed the opposition leader, his story in history, I am sure would have been kind and fair but as president he has destroyed every iota of confidence that people had in him.
“You can speak to Dr Nyaho Tamakloe about it and he will tell you that Nana Akufo-Addo has made him a prophet.”
The Minority in Parliament expressed disappointment in President Akufo-Addo for not touching on the unemployment situation in the country in his address.
The Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson said after the president’s address in Parliament that the unemployment situation is currently at a critical level therefore it was surprising that Mr Akufo-Addo was silent on it.
