A Communications team member of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ernest Brogya Genfi has described President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's tenth COVID-19 address to the nation as a step to "favor his manipulation to remain in power".

According to him, lots of Ghanaian citizens are enthused with the Presidents easing of restrictions because "it is very difficult to make a meaningful commentary out of the speech read".

Speaking on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' newspaper discussion show, he noted that if the President really had the interest of Ghanaians at heart, he would have allowed churches and mosques to operate fully while observing social distancing protocols, just like the Electoral Commission (EC) and National Identification Authority (NIA).

"Your 10th COVID-19 address to the nation is just to favour yourself and party agenda to maintain your seats in power," he pointed out.

Brogya Genfi advised Ghanaians to take their safety and protection into their own hands since government is not ready to implement fair and concrete measures for the benefit of all against the coronavirus pandemic.
