Just as all these celebrations have been going on, a 2014 tweet from Nana Akufo-Addo, who was at the time still trying to become president, has popped up online.
In the tweet, he lamented a number of things that were going wrong in the country at the time.
One of such things he listed in his tweet was the fact that Ghana was yet to get any game-win in the World Cup that was taking place in Brazil.
“No water, no electricity, no petrol, no money, no jobs, no mercy, no World Cup victory! #Ghana,” his tweet, dated July 7, 2014, said.
Ghana is currently going through one of its toughest economic times in history, with nearly every sector of the economy struggling.
