Also, he stated that the outgoing President crippled the economy, leaving Ghanaians with nothing but hardship. He also touched on what he believes is a deliberate closure of businesses not owned by his allies.

"You arrested almost everyone that spoke against ur party, making sure even journalists lost their freedom of speech, you collapsed and crippled almost every business that wasn’t owned by your allies, people cried of pure hunger yet you kept imposing higher taxes," he said.
