In his state of the nation address, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo assured Ghanaians that he would revive the economy despite the current crisis, just as his administration had done when fighting the deadly Coronavirus.
On Sunday, October 30, the president made mention of how the New Patriotic Party(NPP) handled the COVID-19 outbreak in Ghana effectively whereas industrialized countries were having difficulty controlling it.

“When I said, at the height of the COVID pandemic, that we knew what to do to bring the economy back to life, but not how to bring people back to life, it was not said in jest.”
He further assured: “We had done it before, and we were on course to doing it again. Ghana’s economy grew by a remarkable 5.4% in 2021, signifying a strong recovery from the 0.5% growth recorded the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
To that effect, popular preacher, prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, also known as Opambuor and the founder of the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Center, has strongly denounced the president’s remarks.
Opambuor asserts that it is incorrect for President Akufo-Addo to downplay God’s favor and mercies on the nation during these trying times and adds that the NPP administration did not triumph in the battle against the Coronavirus.
“Make it known to the president that it was not by his might or knowledge that Ghana was able to control Coronavirus.” Opambour iterated.
He went ahead to say that:
“The President’s government didn’t drive away the virus, It was God who had mercy on His people and healed the nation. That is all.”
The government can therefore not take credit for fighting the virus with the plans they put in place.
In his speech, he should have said that we did it with the help of God and therefore the same God was going to see us through our current economic crisis. We can’t take God’s credit as humans. The knowledge we have is a gift from God,” Prophet Opambuor emphasized.
Meanwhile, the outspoken man of God added that:
“Controlling COVID can be credited to the NPP and Nana Addo Dankwa’s administration. For rescuing us from the pandemic that claimed millions of white lives, God deserves all the praise.”
