Ghanaian socialite, Andrea Owusu, popularly known as 'Efia Odo', has blamed President Akufo-Addo for the present economic crisis in the country.
According to her, the President is the reason for the prevailing economic 'chaos'.
"You caused this chaos..." she tweeted in reaction to the President's address on the state of Ghana's economy on Sunday, and proceeded to call the President names.
You caused this chaos you greedy bofrot.

The comment by the actress adds to the scores of disagreeable reactions from a section of Ghanaians, following the President's address on Sunday evening.
In a televised speech, President Akufo-Addo outlined measures by his government to address the current economic difficulties in the country.
At the moment, Ghana's economy is reeling under pressure, with many citizens feeling the brunt.
The hardship is manifest in the consistent depreciation of the local currency, in addition to a rising inflation and a decline in other macroeconomic variables.
But speaking to the nation last night, the President reiterated that the outcome of government's ongoing negotiations with the IMF will help salvage the economy.
He said other measures such as a reduction in imports as well as maintaining a 30% cut in the salaries of all government appointees already in place will help revive the economy.
However, some Ghanaians, including Efia Odo, have taken to social media to berate the President's address; describing it as 'empty'.
Others have however applauded government's announced interventions aimed at putting the economy on a sound footing.
