Security analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa has proposed that President Akufo-Addo’s name should be excluded from the list of Ghana’s former presidents when he leaves office on January 7, 2025.

During a discussion on TV3's Ghana Decides 2024 programme, which was followed by Ghanaweb, Dr. Bonaa explained that the President’s behavior while in office does not deserve recognition among the country’s past leaders.

"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 the presidency in 2017 after winning the 2016 election in the first round, having previously run in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

He will step down on January 7, 2025, just before John Mahama is inaugurated as the new president.
