Former Deputy National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), Joseph Yamin has advised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to be very careful of how he addresses the nation in the State of the Nation Address based on the findings given him.
Thursday, February 8, 2018, has been confirmed as the day President Nana Akufo-Addo will present his second State of the Nation address to Parliament.
President Akufo-Addo’s address will be in accordance with Article 67 of the constitution.
Speaking on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ programme, Joseph Yamin stated that Ministers of state should feed the President with the exact and accurate information he needs for the State of the Nation Address [SONA]from their various sectors to keep him focused on issues of the state, making his delivery accurate.
To him, comparing the speeches read by President Akufo-Addo and Ex-President John Mahama during his term as President, he will rate the past President higher than the current President because the current president’s speeches are directly opposite to what the state is experiencing.
Mr. Yamin admitted the fact that his party [NDC] will definitely have their side and real State of the Nation address after the President has delivered his.
“We will as a party definitely tell Ghanaians the real state of the nation after the President has given his, since I know some appointed ministers of this government will definitely make him lie to us”, he indicated.
According to him he was very much embarrassed for the President on how he answered questions possed to him by journalists during his encounter with the press few weeks ago based on the facts given him.

This will not be your first time so don't worry your self. You guys have done it before when the late Atta Mills was your leader in 2008 so this is no news and surprise to us.
how can a Lebanese obsessed pig meat eater give us the real state of our nation address?
ARE YOU A GHANAIAN? PLEASE GO AND HERD YOUR CATTLE.
@ klm, we need some media station to cover parliament proceedings for us to see those MPs behaving like kids in a candy shop or monkey has seen a banana. @ Nana K, NDC is refusing to accept the era we are in, they always take the simplistic level of understanding and do propaganda.
This one too got a ministerial appointment under Mahama's NDC. oh Ghana where did we go wrong?
The President's speech is not out and you are talking about what??? The NDC should never think that the current generation of Ghanaians will allow them to come back to power anytime soon. The massive corruption we witnessed is on our minds not forgetting the insults, deceit, lies, extravagant lifestyle etc. And when I hear some of the people including this one who caused their unprecedented defeat speak, I ask myself, when will they learn?
I wish our föölish parliamentarians will learn from the united states.Trump had an uninterrupted speech at congress with no single MP foöling like our do here.everybody was quietly seated and was following proceedings...our MPs behave like school children all the time !!
Go ahead. Ghanaians live in space now. I always advise the NDC to change their game plan. we live in a new era. Propaganda tactics do not win votes anymore. Ghanians now very discerning.
WILL SOMEONE ADVICE THIS "OFIRIDJATO" TO KEEP MUTE AND GO TO HIS HOMELAND, FULANI LAND AND ALLOW THE INDEGINOUS PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THE CONCERNS OF OUR COUNTRY.
This is what i call nuisance talk.This SONA is not about given free monies to undeserved people. Keep quit Yamin and stop wasting our ears
