Tamale North Constituency MP Alhassan Suhuyini expressed grave concern over the credibility of President Nana Addo Danka Akufo-Addo when he promised the country in his 26th Covid-19 public address to the nation that the country would receive approximately 1.3 million Sputnik V vaccines in the month of May.

He said it is insulting that the president, after ten weeks of promising the whole country, comes back empty-handed and yet says nothing about that promise.

Mr Suhuyini said he felt so insulted and helpless that the country could have a president like Akufo-Addo who could disrespect the whole country by making such promises and return ten weeks later without informing the nation of the state of its promise.

He said that while there were problems with purchasing the promised vaccines, all the president had to do was come back and explain to the country that there was a problem, which is why the country could not receive the promised 1.3 million vaccines.

For Tamale North lawmaker, this is how a president shows respect to his citizens, but not the silent approach President Akufo-Addo took on the said pledge in his 25th Address to the Nation.

Mr. Suhuyini made the statement in an interview with Johnnie Hughes on the New day show on TV3 Monday July 26.

He was reacting to the president’s 26th speech to the nation on Sunday July 25 regarding the state of the pandemic in the country.

“Unfortunately, just listening to the president was very depressing and my brother just talked about the Russian Sputnik V vaccines. It was the president who in his last speech told us that we were going to get around 1.3 million. of Sputnik V vaccines by May. Isn’t it insulting to us that after ten weeks he comes back and doesn’t even say a word about it? Mr. Suhuyini wondered.

He continued, “I mean, I felt so insulted and felt so helpless to have such a president who can just feel disrespectful towards us. He told us about Sputnik V and he said 1.3 million would arrive in May. If there are any issues, all he has to do to show us respect is explain to us, but disrespecting us like he did, means he doesn’t care.
