ECOWAS Chair Akufo-Addo Sleeping On National And International Issues – Amaliba

Pressure continues to mount on the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), President Akufo-Addo on the unrest in Nigeria as he is expected to address the issue.

The President has been under fire for tweeting about his position on the ballot paper ahead of the country’s polls in December instead of addressing the unrest in Nigeria.

Speaking on TV3, a private legal practitioner, and Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Amaliba noted that the President has been sleeping on his job both locally and internationally.

“This president has been sleeping a lot on national and international issues. He should have spoken by now. Ghana will need to take a cue from this. As politicians, we need to ensure that what is happening in Nigeria does not happen. We need to take care of the welfare and the needs of the people. Akufo-Addo is taking care of the welfare and needs of only the people of his ethnic clan,” he said.

“We have never seen in this country before where a president has appointed over 50 people close to him into office. That angers people. These are some of the things that we need to avoid. The president as ECOWAS by now should be speaking, by now should be engaging with his counterpart in Nigeria,” Amaliba asserted.
