  The answer is CLEAR. Bad Leadership! it's
  Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, the most corrupt leader. He lied his way into the Presidency of Ghana. Not Covid! Not Russia! Not Ukraine! NanaAddo and the
  Akyem Mafia.

  This write up sheer rhetoric to shore up the image of Akuffo Addo-NPP led government that intentionally plunged Ghana into penury to please France and save France from the disgrace of Pillaging Africa.
  African countries in the Francophone has been arguing to have their own currency to develop like Ghana.This is evidence by the arguments of two Professors- Nicholas Agbowu of Ivory Coast and Kako Nubukpo of Togo.
  France needed an African/Ghanaian to destroy Ghana" economy to serve them from the embarrassment from their colonies.
  Akuffo Addo started hiring private jets to fly out of Ghana to conferences at exorbitant prices with the claim that he wants to bathe in the sky.
  Gleefully depleting the foreign exchange position long before Covid19/Ukraine War.
  He ballooned national expenditure by increasing number of Ministers and created several more regions without plans increasing govt expenditure.
  Monitoring and maintenance and accountability was thrown to the dogs,replaced replaced by craving and looting of national wealth for family and friends.
  How can a country move forward under such circumstances, blaming external sources.
  Costs of projects were astronomically inflated to please the ruling class.
  Road tolls that wa bringing in millions nationwide was suppressed as pretext to go to the IMF.
  Then if Ghana also has come to IMF, then there is no point to say Ghana's economy has developed.
  The professors arguing rightly now, will be perceived on a different light as wrong,while right.This bizarre economic situation of Ghana is a planned thing by one man his cliche
  Ghana Doe not deserve this judas iscariot treatment and betrayal, hence the massive vote out.
  The truth must be told.Ghana made brilliant economic strides but one person with his cliche Aguapa Deal Akim Mafia willfully and gleefully and remorseless brought this countyr backward. A probe will expose the hidden facts and agendas.

  I think that Ghana has indulged itself too much in its' own perception of its' economic 'success' in recent years. The west has been happy to promote Ghana as a bastion of democracy and development. Access to easy loans has been supported until recently. Addo's gov spanked it - taking on loans that did not have to be justified.
  Ghana now has a foreign debt that your great-great grandchildren will have to bear for many decades.
  Is sad bcos it did not have to be this way.

  Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo is the most damaging criminal to ever ascend to the office of presidency in Ghana. The damage he has done to Ghana will take three generations or more to reverse and make Ghana first among its equals. I regretted voting for him in 2016. At least my conscience is calm after staying away in 2020 elections.

  Akufo-Addo is very very short in height. Yet, his face drops long, 90 degrees, very sharply downwards, under a big head. At the basement of his mouth, another 90 degrees points, geometrically, glaringly & fiercefully, east or west, depending on direction of look. Why? Someone kindly explain this stark image. I draw art! I swear. No offence meant oo! A probable unique image for History! I beg oo.
