Andrea Owusu, also known as Efia Odo, has bashed President Akufo-Addo for being unworried about his citizens’ “emotional distress.”
This was stated by the media personality, influencer, and socialite in a tweet on Monday, October 31, 2022.
She also argued that the president considers his critics noisemakers, claiming that when he said during his Sunday, 30 October 2022, television address that: “Money does not like noise,” he was implying his people’s “complaints and frustrations” are “noisy.”
“He’s calling us noise makers so we should shut up and suffer. The president disregards our emotional distress each and every day. Our complaints and frustrations is noisy. Coming to tell us sika mp3 dede is an insult to us,” the social media influencer tweeted.

Sunday night when Mr Akufo-Addo tweeted a part of his nation’s address: “Fellow Ghanaians, as the French would say, l’argent n’aime pas le bruit, to wit; ‘money does not like noise’, ‘[in Akan] sika mpɛ dede’. Where there is chaos, where there is noise, where there is unrest, you will not find money,” Efia was in the comments with the response: “You caused this chaos you greedy front.”

Ghana is presently in an economic downturn, which President Akufo-Addo claims is the consequence of the COVID pandemic and the recurring Russia-Ukraine conflict.
On the rapid devaluation of the Ghana cedi, the president spotlighted false presumptions about the cedi in his address to the nation, as well as a 2-minute WhatsApp video that prompted citizens to make panic withdrawals of cedi and subsequent conversion into dollars.
With all that said, he assured, “It is obvious, fellow Ghanaians, that you have a government that cares. We are determined to restore stability to the economy and provide relief. We are all in this together, and I am asking for your support to rescue Ghana from the throes of this economic crisis.”
