President Akufo-Addo won the 2016 general election on the back of several promises he made to Ghanaians including the restoration of teacher and nursing trainee allowances, rebuilding of a stable and robust economy, repayment of DKM victims money, free education and restructuring of the NHIS, raising the hopes of Ghanaians for massive progress and development of the country.
But after only six weeks in power, former Communications Minister in the Mahama administration that lost the 2016 election to NPP explains that the good will from Ghanaians that Akufo-Addo enjoyed and rode on to victory has vanished.
According to Omane Boamah, Akufo-Addo has failed so far to align his words with the necessary actions.
Making reference to a section of Ghanaians who were to benefit from particular promises, Omane Boamah indicated that they had lost hope in the government’s ability to live up to their promises.
“They talk about good will of the Ghanaian people. It worked for them during the election because they went about on the lofty promises knowing very well what they knew about the economy they were going to give excuses. There’s no point arguing with the electorate agreed with them and gave them the mandate”
“…that person in the Brong Ahafo Region, that person in the Upper West Region, that person who is a victim of the DKM scandal, that person who is a victim of the ‘God is love’ scandal whose promise has not being paid, who voted for the NPP because of the lofty promise that the money was going to be paid has lost hope because that person does not see practice been aligned with the promise 6 weeks after the Akufo-Addo administration started working”.
President Akufo-Addo reiterated his government’s commitment to delivering on the promises they made to Ghanaians ahead of the 2016 elections when he appeared before parliament on 21st February 2017 to present his maiden SONA.
Omane Boamah expressed these sentiments in his reaction to the content of the President's maiden SONA on Alhaji and Alhaji show on Radio Gold.

didnt we put up with your incompetence for 8 years? Why will we be upset with the Nana after 2 months if we put up with you and your stuppppppppppid boss?
Who told you it was take the new administration six weeks to correct all the destruction that you took eight years to cause to our nation? All the daylight robbery that John Mahama and all of you pepetrated on the people of Ghana will be investigated. Just keep your cool and see what an old and sincere man and his administration will do in this country. Your propaganda will not work anymore. You guys were stealing left, right, center because your leader was also stealing with his hands and legs. Therefore there was no one to check you guys. 0fui, do you think you will go free for all the stealing? Just wait and see what will happen.
NDC is still DAZED! They don't know what to say or do. ThIS CHEAP PROPAGANDA WILL NOT FLY! NDC thinks by saying repeatedly that people are losing confidence will yield any result for them. NEVER. Ghanaians are now discerning.
I thought you will keep quiet and maintain your dignity i didn't know you will open your mouth. Please ***barred word***. What did your government do at 6 weeks? Be deceiving yourself that Ghanaians have lost confidience in the president. We are rallying behind the president, we love him and we know he will deliver because God is in control. SHAMEEEEEEE!!
WAS IT NOT THIS FUUULLL WHO SAID NANA ADDO WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT? MY SIMPLE QUESTION TO THIS BRAIN-DEAD TWERP IS, WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO NOW THAT NANA IS THE PRESIDENT? IF HE HAS NOT THOUGHT OF ANYTHING, I WILL FREELY SUGGEST SOME OPTIONS FOR HIM. 1. HE CAN GO BURN THE SEA. 2. HE CAN GO HANG HIMSELF.3. HE CAN JUMP IN FRONT OF A TRAIN. OTHERWISE HE SHOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT UNTIL THE SYSTEM CATCHES UP WITH HIM AND SEND HIM TO HIS NEW ABODE, NSAWAM CONDEMN CELL FOR THE REST OF HIS WRETCHED LIFE. AB*A F U N-U LIKE YOU
Omane, why have you lost so much weight in less than two months in opposition? Waaye dwe oooo!
epay ooo detri, bring back some of the stolen money if you still want to keep some and am sure Nana in 6 weeks would have done with all the promises he promised Ghanaians. akronfu na ewifu wo ka wo ano pa do. Awuradzi be tua won kaw kro kro.
Talk for yourself oh It is people like u who are not getting free money that will be disappointed U must be in jail by now that is my disappointment
Ghanaians will put the ndc in opposition for over 40 years. The worst of the NPP is the good of the ndc,which Ghanaians are you fo*ls talking of those who see no fat no fault about the ndc which sent you to opposition? Hahahahaha these people are getting crazy out of their humiliated lose and their pay stub which is no more coming,Eeii ndc just less than 3 months out of work and you screaming and whining and talking on behalf of Ghanaians when nobody has asked you to do that. Omane Boamah Ghanaians want you ndc to know we are in a comfortable lead to progress and prosperity so don't care a hoot about the hunger of that ndc gang who hijacked this country and milked it. Not too far from today you will be called by the EOCO and referred to the special prosecutor. Don't see the NPP as weak because you are roaming about talking sh*t thinking Ghanaians will hear you,they would have heard you in power not in opposition when they've thanked God for this good riddance. NPP are getting enough evidence to deal with you proper to collect every pesewa gone into wrong pockets during your era of ste*ling and terror. You are all fo*ls to be talking after this humiliated defeat,you have no shame and honor. Never again will such gang of kriminals be allowed into our seat of government. NPP are in a comfortable lead and no amount of ndc evil thinking will change the minds of Ghanaians to bring this much more evil ndc to power. We hate you because you hate Ghana,you are anti- Ghana,you are unGhanaian.
This Omane ***barred word*** should prepare for jail time! The coming days and months will uncover some shocking financial dealings. Stealers!!
