Mahama did not deliver the true State of the Nation; he said nothing new – Deputy Minority Leader

Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei has said President Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) is not the true reflection of the current state of the country.

According to her, revocation of appointments and employment, insecurity and lawlessness are the state of the nation currently, 50 days since President Mahama assumed office.

The Asokwa MP noted that the President’s address on Thursday, February 27, 2025 should have captured these realities as the true reflection of the nation.

“I must say that the true state of the nation is not what the President delivered today because if we are talking about 50 days in office, the true state of the government is about lawlessness, the true state of the economy is about revocation of employment, the true state of the economy is insecurity.

“The true state of the economy is economic mismanagement already. These are the things happening in the country at the moment,” she told TV3’s Eric Mawuena Egbeta few moments after President Mahama delivered his SONA.

The lawmaker further noted that President Mahama’s address was an empty one.

“What we also expected was for the President to come up with a statement that everybody will wow him but it is business as usual. There is nothing tremendously new about what the President said,” Appiagyei remarked.

Patricia Appiagyei says with what she witnessed, the current government presents no hope for Ghanaians.

“I don’t think there’s hope for anybody because all that I listened to were lamentations. If you are lamenting, you have been given the mantle and you claim you have been given a resounding victory then fix it and what we expect are the plans to fix it,” she added.
