In Ghana, the act of "giving someone their stone" is a symbolic way of saying "you were right" or "what you warned me about has come to pass".
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.
In May, popular preacher Prophet Kofi Oduro said President Akufo-Addo will go down in history as the worst in the 4th Republic.
