Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has stated that she is not impressed with the general performance of the current government.
According to the opinionated actress, the government led by President Nana Akufo-Addo, has failed to deliver on its promises.
When host of Hall of Fame on Citi TV, AJ Sarpong asked if the government ticks all her boxes, she answered in the negative.
“No, absolutely not,” she said.
Asked what her reasons were she noted: “you know when they won the election I wrote a piece, it was supposed to feature in the New African Woman. I said that you know what, they were setting themselves up for failure.”
According to Lydia, she refuses to completely discredit the President or completely give up because if Ghana does well it benefits everybody.
However, she thinks the government was arrogant about their promises prior the the 2016 elections.
“My article was based on their social media promises. They wanted to win by any means necessary. But I think when you have been in opposition for a very long time you forget what is like to be the head that wears the crown. So maybe any other party government may not be frustrated as we are. Maybe things take time to pick up,” she told AJ.
“But because of all the promises they made and the boldness with which they made them. They were almost arrogant about their promises,” she intimated.
Miss Forson finally noted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP)probably were doing old school politics during the 2016 elections.
She said even though she was not surprised at the turn of events she is expecting that the government does exactly what it promises with the timeliness.
Lydia has been very vocal on varied issues concerning humanity.
While some admire her confidence and intelligence, there are others who seriously resent her approach and reaction to certain issues.
Her first movie role was a cameo in Hotel St. James in 2005.
After that she took part in the Next Movie Star reality show in 2007 and emerged the third runner-up.
Some movies she has starred in are Run Baby Run, Different Shades of Blue, Scorned, The Perfect Picture, Keteke, Side Chic Gang, among others.
She recently won Best Supporting Actress Movie/TV Series’ for her role as Kukua in the movie for the ‘Isoken’ movie and Best Actress (comedy) at the Golden Movie Awards.

You are not impressed eh. WHO ARE YOU? Of all your 'paahpaah' you cannot even produce a movie sketch. I think you want to be heard so that Kumawood producer may remember you exist for consideration in their production. Hai!!!
Folks, don't go stir crazy over Ms Forson's individual observations, I think the NPP leadership is discerning enough and they will look at these comments and where the government has fallen short, remedy the situation. No need to insult or castigate her for her views. She has every right to voice her views just as you and i do.
SO CALLED actress LYDIA FORSON tell me ONE social intervention NDC introduced during their terms. nothing only corruptions here and there.
What did Mahama did at his 2 years GOVERNANCE, nothing, when he was interviewed at BBC Mahama said he cant use 2 and half years to do something FOR GHANA, nANA IS ONLY 20 MONTHS IN POWER, GHANA IS OUT OF IMF THAT MAHAMA TOOK GHANA TO, THE massive RAILWAYS PROJECT GOING ON, FREE SHS, PLANTING FOR FOR FOODS, unpaid nurses had been paid, more jobs is coming ect. i am ashamed of you this lady, every time attacking NPP, open your eyes. YOU do want Mr Akomfem is gone to Burkinafaso, Asofoton, SUBA,NO ELECTRICITY IN Ghana during MAHAMA'S TIME, oooo because Nana is not given Ghanaians money to Lydia Forson and their so called actress and actors, then we will say the truth..THEN LET ME TELL YOU, Mahama will not come today or tomorrow
Free shs - yaamutu nursing trainee allowance - yaamutu teacher trainee allowance - yaamutu Ghana card - yaamutu Ghana address digitization - yaamutu debt to gdp ratio from 72% to 52% under 2yrs yaamutu planting food for jobs program - yaamutu Ghana railway revitalization - yaamutu 1d1f - on course yaamutu IDID - ON COURSE - YAAMUTU NATIONAL HEALTH CARE REVITALIZATION - on course - debts paid NATIONAL SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM - Revitalized Stabilization of exchange rate - yaamutu dumsor banishment - yaamut (of course one will say what about the recent disruptions. even America once in a while experience interruptions) IMF bondage - almost over. A sign of good things to come. all in less than 2 years. Ghanaians will be eternally ungrateful beings if we fail to recognize and appreciate what Nana Addo is doing for the nation Ghana. As imperfect as they may be, I would say the NPP has performed better than any government since Kwame Nkrumah. I get sick to my stomach when I hear our people complaining. IT seems we like freebies and easy money. and unfortunately Nana Addo will not and does not dole out free cash from some of those feeling entitled so called celebrities to squash. Wealth is being evenly distributed among the populace. My sister always tells me that Ghana fo) pe kasa. Eh all this done in 2 years. All its true that my countrymen have very short memories. Things may not be perfect now but at least, lets appreciate what this man has done with the meager resources bequeathed him by John Mahama. IT will get better. Lets be hopeful. I don't live in Ghana but I'm hopeful because we have a selfless man in charge. God bless you all and God bless Ghana.
