Member of Parliament for the Tamale North constituency Alhassan Suhuyini says President Akufo-Addo’s last address to the nation on Covid-19 was insulting.
Speaking on TV3\s the New Day Show, he said the President, after ten weeks of promising the whole country vaccines, comes back empty handed and yet fails to say anything concerning that promise.
According to him, it’s so depressing to have a President like Akufo-Addo who could disrespect the whole country by making such dire promises and come back some ten weeks after and not brief the nation on the status of his promise.
He noted that the President could have just offered explanations as to why the vaccines he promised in May hasn’t arrive; yet he didn’t care and made further promises.
“Unfortunately, just listening to the president was very depressing and my brother just talked about the Russian Sputnik V vaccines. This is the president who in his last address told us that we were going to get about 1.3 million Sputnik V vaccines by May. Isn’t it insulting to us that after ten weeks he returns and doesn’t even say a word about that?” Mr Suhuyini wondered.
He continued: “I mean I felt so insulted and I felt so helpless that I have such a president that can just feel disrespect towards us. He told us about Sputnik V and he said 1.3 million will come in May. If there are problems all he needs to do to show respect to us is to explain to us but to disrespect us in the way he did, means he doesn’t care.”
