State of the Nation Address – What Akufo-Addo said and what Mahama said - Ghana Business News

In a recent State of the Nation address, President Nana Akufo-Addo highlighted significant achievements under his administration, particularly in infrastructure and economic growth. He emphasized ongoing projects aimed at enhancing healthcare, education, and job creation. The President also acknowledged challenges such as inflation and global economic pressures but remained optimistic about Ghana's resilience.

Conversely, President John Mahama critiqued the current government’s performance, asserting that promises made during previous addresses remain unfulfilled. He pointed to rising living costs and unemployment as pressing issues needing urgent attention. Mahama called for transparency in governance and urged the government to prioritize citizens' welfare over political interests.

The contrasting narratives reflect the broader political landscape in Ghana as both leaders seek to influence public perception ahead of upcoming elections. While Akufo-Addo celebrated progress made during his tenure, Mahama’s comments resonated with those struggling with economic difficulties. This exchange underscores the critical discourse surrounding governance and accountability as Ghana navigates its socio-economic challenges.
