Before President Akufo-Addo completed his address on the state of nation, Ghanaians took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

Although the President spoke of how his administration is working and will continue to work to recover the economy, a section of the users said the President is not in touch with reality as his comments do not reflect what is on the ground.

They noted that the high cost of living is crippling.

Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu in reaction to the address said President Akufo-Addo failed to reveal the true state of the Ghanaian economy.

“We expected him to deliver the true state of the nation address which will reflect the very hardship and suffering of the Ghanaian people."

According to him, the President does not have the confidence to even to talk about the economy to the state as he filled his address with promises and slogans.

He assured the Minority’s readiness to “debate them and to prove a credible alternative led by John Mahama.”
