The government, he said can be criticised adding that "If I support Akufo-Addo because of my conviction and I feel there’s something in there that's not good, that’s not working well, I will not criticise him on this television because I have access to him; I'll go to him and tell him and say: 'Mr. President, I think so so and so, so so and so'."
