The final State of the Nation’s address by President John Dramani Mahama which was scheduled for Thursday has reportedly been postponed.
Reasons for the cancellation are not readily known and it is not clear whether a new date will be set for the address which will also be the last by a head of State to the Sixth Parliament that is set to be dissolved midnight January 6.
The delivery of the address is in accordance with Article 67 the Constitution which states: “The President shall, at the beginning of each session of Parliament and before a dissolution of Parliament, deliver a message on the state of the nation”.
Parliament will today resume sitting to round up its activities before members rise for the Christmas break ahead of the dissolution.
Already, Parliament has started registering all the newly elected members of parliament for the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic. The members will be issued with identification cards which will enable them to vote for the selection of a Speaker and other officials for the 7th Parliament under the fourth republic ahead of the inauguration of the president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on January 7, 2017. The registration which started on Monday, December 19, ends on Friday, December 23.

Am very happy that Mahama administration is the worse corrupt as we claim but I cry for the one coming and Ghanaians. Please, for once lets us know that He is our President and it is right to respect him. The story talk about Mahama final state of the nation address which has been cancel or postpone and I think that our comment should be on the address and not to attack him.
So when will people learn to be truthful and also tell lairs to the face? Why perpetuate lies when it is clear that one is just being mischievous? I thought the date was postponed to to the 5 of January which i think is better than the earlier date!! But here we are with people saying all sorts of unprintable things here...... Will suggest, you guys leave the man alone and focus on how that your akyem ganja planta mafia will fulfill his honey plus milk promises to fruition. Since you claim to know the SONA and he has nothing to tell us.....just keep your opinions and let him be.
Reasons for the cancellation are not readily unknown. Peace FM I don't understand the above sentence

Mr. DJ please drop me the onaaapo remix (the one played for Nana Addo and NPP) as i wait JDM to organise and reorganise himself for the state of the nation address NOTE THAT IT IS A MUST THAT YOU DO IT WE ARE WAITING ANXIONLY FOR THAT
Mahama is not handling his election loss well at all. it shows on his demeanor. his facial expression is that of a sad person. Sorry Mr. President but Atta mills (May his soul rest in peace) lost twice, he was ridiculed by his own people and the opposition, yet he kept his composure. Akuffo Addo lost twice, was verbally abused and ridiculed by some of his own people and most especially by the NDC, yet he never gave up. You just lost one election and you are walking around like the world has come to an end. Anyway I dont blame you, you always had things on a silver platter, even the presidency.
YOU CHOP ALL THE MEAT LEAVING THE BONES. MAY OUR ANCESTORS NEVER GIVE YOU PEACE.
MAHAMA IS AFRAID THAT MPs WILL HOOT AT HIM IN PARLIAMENT. HE IS A LAUGHING STOCK ANY WAY.
You mean you won't tell us what you are handing over? But you will go round the countryside to prepare the grounds for the 2020 elections, eh?
