Popular artiste manager and entertainment pundit, BullGod, has declared that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is not worthy of his respect, citing personal grievances and the former leader’s conduct in office.

According to BullGod, Akufo-Addo’s actions before, during, and after the 2016 and 2020 elections, as well as his general attitude towards Ghanaians, have made it impossible for him to hold the former president in high regard.

“For me and him, my issue is personal,” he asserted in an interview on Hitz FM. “His campaign was mostly begging, and he had no real message. For someone like that, it is hard for me to respect him because he does not respect anyone. He doesn’t deserve it, and anyone who says otherwise must see things differently.”

BullGod also recalled how he was arrested by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), formerly BNI, in 2021 over comments he made about Akufo-Addo, an experience that reinforced his stance against the former president.

“I don’t understand why people say I’ve been insulting the former president. Those are not insults; those are opinions,” he insisted.

He further accused Akufo-Addo of disrespecting Ghanaians, particularly traditional leaders.

“In front of everyone, you tell a sitting chief of a community to get up before they can give you the respect you think you deserve? That is unacceptable,” BullGod argued. “For chiefs to gather and come meet you at your office, the office they put you in, and you treat them with such disregard?”

He also criticized Akufo-Addo’s remarks during his visit to flood victims in Akosombo, stating that such comments reinforced his lack of respect for him.

“For you to go to Akosombo when the flood happened and say, ‘I don’t know why I’m here; you didn’t vote for me,’ I can’t understand how we are supposed to respect such a person,” he stated.

According to BullGod, respect must be mutual, and a leader who does not show regard for the people cannot expect it in return.

“If you treat someone a certain way, the same will happen to you,” he added.

Expressing disappointment, he noted that Akufo-Addo, as a well-educated individual, should have exhibited better leadership qualities.
