Ghana’s President Faces Backlash Over Self-Unveiled Statue
Ghana’s outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo is generating controversy after unveiling a statue of himself in Sekondi, intended to celebrate his development initiatives. Critics on social media accuse him of self-glorification, questioning the statue’s relevance amid unfinished projects. While some Ghanaians commend the president’s contributions, others demand its removal post-presidency. As Akufo-Addo embarks on a ‘thank-you tour,’ he promotes his successor, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the upcoming elections, where high living costs remain a significant concern.
