President Nana Akufo-Addo is facing intense backlash on social media following his unveiling of his statue at the entrance of the Effia Nkwanta Region Hospital in the Western Region.
Many netizens have expressed displeasure over the decision of the President to have a statue erected to honor him, as they deem it needless.
A section of the public has called for its demolishing soon after the president exits office.
A user commenter "As soon as he leaves office, we must pull it down. Nonsense!"

Commenting on the statueâs unveiling, the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah said the monument honours the Presidentâs contributions to the region.
He highlighted key projects, including the rehabilitation of Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, the construction of a three-tier Sinohydro interchange, and the redevelopment of the Takoradi Market Circle, all spearheaded under President Akufo-Addoâs administration.
Meanwhile, these projects remain incomplete.
