Security analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa has called for the name of the incumbent President, Nana Akufo-Addo, to be removed from the list of ex-presidents when he exits office on January 7, 2025.
Speaking on TV3's Ghana Decides 2024 programme, monitored by Ghanaweb, Dr. Bonaa stated that the conduct of the President while in office does not merit inclusion in the prestigious list of Ghana’s ex-presidents.
"If it is possible, let us expunge Nana Addo's name from the list of ex-presidents if he becomes one. Listen, what Nana Addo has done to this country... I am old enough to have witnessed many of the coups that took place in this country, but we never experienced some of the things that happened under Nana Addo. And yet, we had takeovers here and there.
"This means we have come far, Nana was instructing chiefs to get up and greet him, doing all manner of things, and you ask yourself, ‘Where did we go wrong?’ What has taken place... a lot of my friends in the NPP are so disappointed. It is because of Nana Addo's bad, irresponsible, reckless, and looting government that we find ourselves where we are," he added.
President Akufo-Addo assumed office in 2017 after winning the 2016 presidential election in the first round, having previously contested in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
He will exit office on January 7, 2025, just before the newly elected President, John Mahama, is sworn in.
