 Russia Exposes Nana Addo and Bawumia big time

The government of Nana Akufo Addo has been deceiving Ghanaians about the causes of the economic meltdown. At first, it was Covid-19 then later, it became Ukrainian invasion by Russia. This has been the song almost all other African leaders have been sing since the war started in February.

The minister for Agriculture Hon. Owusu Afriyie Akoto made Ghanaians aware that most of our Agricultural inputs and raw materials come from either Ukraine or Russia hence the war is having a direct effect on the economy. He attributed the shortage of fertiliser to Ukrainian war although he had accused smugglers earlier.

Dr. Bawumia has equally trumpeted this same position in a recent lecture to justify the IMF bail out.

The truth is finally out as the Russian embassy in Ghana decided to expose the lies being peddled by Nana Addo and his cronies. Under the instruction of President Vladimir Putin, the embassy denied being responsible for the economic hardship particularly the escalating food prices in Ghana. Russia later backed her claim with a summary of Ghana's import of agricultural products across the world. Contrary to government's position, Russia was the 11th country Ghana imported agricultural products in the year 2021. Putin has therefore asked Ghanaians to disregard the propaganda of the western world being perpetuated by Nana Addo government.

Ghanaians have been reacting to this development. In this article we will look at comments from two legislators namely Samuel Nartey George and Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa has. Check what the two NDC MPs wrote on Facebook.

Okudjeto Ablakwa: "The rate at which the Akufo-Addo government keeps provoking the Russian Embassy in Accra to incessantly issue statements distancing their country from Ghana’s mismanaged IMF economy, we may have to launch a special appeal to President Putin assuring him that majority of Ghanaians do not agree with our government’s propaganda, else we risk becoming Putin’s next target after Ukraine."

Samuel Nartey George: "So now that the Russian Embassy has challenged the govt of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on their claim that the Russian-Ukraine conflict is the cause of spiralling food cost, what is the next lie to be told by govt spin masters? You cannot hide forever behind a lie."
