The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to deliver its own “True State of the Nation Address” on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
This move is in response to President John Dramani Mahama’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered on February 27, 2025, which the NPP claims failed to address critical national issues and misrepresented the current state of Ghana.
The NPP criticized President Mahama’s address for lacking a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the nation’s trajectory since he took office on January 7, 2025.
The party highlighted several pressing issues that were allegedly overlooked in the President’s speech, including deteriorating power supply, rising security challenges, increasing illegal mining activities, and a growing employment crisis.
In a statement issued on February 28, the NPP said: “In light of this, the NPP, through its leadership in Parliament, led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin, will present the True State of the Nation’s Address to offer Ghanaians a factual and objective account of the nation’s condition.”
