The veteran journalist began by stating that he pitied Nana Akuffo Addo. He affirmed that presidents across the globe including Ghana’s president should be pitied considering how hard economies around the world have been hit by COVID-19 and the burden it puts on leaders.
He is quoted as saying, ” anyone who does not pity the president in this current dispensation is wicked taking into account that the burden of ensuring that measures are put in place for the safety of all citizens lies majorly on them”.
