The Krontihene of Akyem Asoum has expressed joy at the defeat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
According to Nana Boadi Amponim Obo-dade III, the country will never have another Akufo-Addo who will instruct chiefs to stand and greet him.
The defeat of the NPP ge noted has excited other chiefs who had reservations about President Akufo-Addo’s abysmal performance.
Speaking to the media, the traditional ruler expressed his relief and gratitude for the change in government.
He opined that the outgoing president could have done a lot for the country considering the resources he had at his disposal.
He stated that for the past eight years, the country’s wealth had been “looted” by those in power.
To him, the country’s situation was dire, and Ghana had been “stripped naked” under the leadership of outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He referenced a biblical passage from Luke Chapter 9, describing Ghana as a bleeding nation that had been robbed of its resources.
He was, however, quick to add that the county had been blessed with a new leader who would work to recover the stolen wealth and restore the nation’s prosperity.
“Some of us are happy that his reign is over. A lot of the chiefs are happy, he stated, adding that a close associate of his, also a chief, had once remarked, “Let’s see if he will come around and instruct chiefs to wake up and greet him.”
“He (Akufo-Addo) could have done more; he had so much revenue, he had so much he could have done for this country, and so we pray we
don’t get another Akufo-Addo to be president of Ghana,” he added.
