Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah, the Deputy Minority Leader who represents the Ellembele constituency in Parliament, has made a daring declaration about the current situation in Ghana. He claims that Ghanaians have plainly indicated their discontent with the country's state of affairs. His remarks came shortly after President Akufo-Addo gave his final State of the Nation address on January 3.

Armah Kofi-Buah stressed that the public's verdict is obvious. He cited several pressing challenges, including extreme economic hardship, a large national debt, high rates of youth unemployment, and a growing sense of despondency among the public. According to him, these circumstances led him to believe that we are witnessing the worst government in the Fourth Republic. He cited the overwhelming vote of disapproval from the public during the December 7 elections as evidence of this sentiment.

In his remarks, the MP chastised President Akufo-Addo for reckless borrowing and improper use of state resources. He notably mentioned the contentious National Cathedral project, arguing that funds may have been better used. He stated that President Akufo-Addo will be recognized as the first leader who relied on IMF funding throughout his term, raising concerns about his economic management.

During his speech, President Akufo-Addo discussed the efforts and programs he has implemented over the last eight years to better the country's status. He expressed optimism that the economy is on the right track and urged the future administration to build on these achievements.

Armah Kofi-Buah, on the other hand, was unreservedly critical. He claimed that Akufo-Addo's experience in government demonstrated how not to rule a country. He advocated for greater accountability and leadership in the future.

Despite the current hardships, Armah Kofi-Buah delivered a message of optimism to the people of Ghana. He told them that significant improvements are on the way under President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He expressed optimism that with Mahama's leadership, Ghanaians may look forward to a brighter future and move away from the sadness they are currently experiencing.
