Lydia Forson in a series of tweets went on to echo how inhumane it sounds to put the lives of citizens at risk over a card.

Dear @NAkufoAddo ,

Your silence on the #NIA registration speaks volumes and contradicts everything directive you’ve given on the #coronavirus

Is the card a ticket to heaven or what?

She shared her view saying the virus is exposing everything wrong in this country for you to see, it’s up to you to decide if you should continue to allow leaders to treat you like crap! adding that “Anyone who justifies the NIA registration has an agenda.”

Any government that’s focused on election during this period clearly doesn’t care about its people.

We’re living in a time where we don’t even know what the next day is going to be like, and you’re thinking of how to stay in power.

John Dumelo on the other hand pointed out how the high court’s ruling for the NIA to continue with registration contradicts with the President’s advice to practice social distancing.

Our Covid-19 cases are increasing daily, the President has asked us to practice social distancing and stay at home, yet a High Court in Accra has ruled that NIA can continue mass registration. We take one step forward and two steps back.
