Former National Chairman for the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has called for President Nana Akufo-Addo to acknowledge his shortcomings and offer an apology to Ghanaians during his last State of the Nation Address (SONA) before Parliament on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.

President Akufo-Addo is scheduled to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to Parliament on February 27, 2024, as required by Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution.

This constitutional provision mandates the President to deliver a message on the State of the Nation at the beginning of each session and prior to the dissolution of Parliament.

The address is expected to outline the government's key policy objectives for the upcoming year and provide insights into strategies aimed at improving the current economic conditions.

In response, Mr Mornah said “In the last statement of the State of the Nation’s address, I expect the President, Akufo-Addo to come and say ‘Fellow countrymen and women, I have failed you. I apologise, I thought I could do better but I have not. This is not the state of the nation I envisaged but it is my prayer that whoever succeeds will build on the positives that I have left’”.
