Speaking in Twi on one of the segments of the morning show he made the following remarks:
"Mahama come for your stone. This is your stone. We criticised you for the bus-branding scandal, we called you incompetent, I know personally that you may want to slap me when you meet me because I went hard on you. I criticised you over the guinea fowl scandal."
"But today what is happening is worse. Cecilia Dapaah's room is full of money. We said Mahama and Mills paid Woyome GH¢51 million but under Akufo-Addo, the Bank of Ghana has lost GH¢60 billion. Mahama come for your stone."
Captain Smart is not the only public figure who thinks Akufo-Addo's government has been disappointing.
