Labelling Ghanaians as ungrateful, the woman rubbished the assertion by the interviewer that Bawumia had lost the election based on the general cry of hardship from many.

"There is no hardship in the country; the only people who complain of hardship are those who are lazy and do not want to work."

She then dared the incoming John Mahama-led government to prove its competence by working to ensure that the cedi regained its strength against the dollar.

"I want Mahama to fix the cedi rate at ¢2 per dollar. I will vote for the NDC in the next election if the price of cement is reduced to GH¢50."

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 3,000 likes and more than 600 comments.
