Just two weeks after the State of the Nation Address was given by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) announced that it would also give the ‘True State of the Nation’ Address today, Monday, March 20, 2023.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the chairman of the NDC, will deliver the speech at the event, which will be held at the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA).
The president of Ghana, Akufo-Addo, will deliver “The State of the Nation Address” on March 8; the “True State of the Nation Address” is anticipated to be a response.
The NDC address, which is being organized by the party’s National Communications Bureau, is anticipated to place a significant emphasis on the economy and the reasons why the nation needs an IMF bailout.

Contrary to claims made by the government, the Minority in Parliament asserts that Ghana will be unable to obtain the International Monetary Fund (IMF) board approval by the end of March 2023.
According to the opposition group, the government has been unable to fulfill the financial guarantees related to the bailout, including the board documents.
“Mr Speaker, our President said on authority that Ghana would get an IMF Board approval by the end of this month, I don’t know who is briefing our President, but Ghana will not be able to get an IMF Board approval by the end of this month because even the board documents are prepared.
“We need to get China to give Ghana financing assurance and that they are ready to take a haircut and China has not agreed,” Minority Leader, Cassiel Ato Forson said.
