Former President has denied claims suggesting that he said the Kumasi International Airport should have been renamed after the late former President Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

"They won’t stop the misinformation and disinformation!" he wrote in a post on X.

He shared a flier of Abusua FM that claimed that Mahama said "Kumasi Airport International should have been renamed after Kwame Nkrumah not Prempeh."

President Nana Akufo-Addo and Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II officially inaugurated Prempeh I International Airport in Kumasi, formerly known as Kumasi International Airport.

The ceremony, attended by traditional leaders, government officials, and prominent New Patriotic Party figures, took place in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on Friday, May 10.

In his address, President Akufo-Addo expressed his joy, highlighting that the inauguration demonstrates his government's commitment to improving Ghana's infrastructure to meet the changing needs of its citizens and to position the country as a leader in progress and prosperity in Africa.

President Akufo-Addo emphasized that the timing of the commissioning, coinciding with the 25th-anniversary celebration of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's enstoolment, is not coincidental but a deliberate tribute to the rich cultural heritage and historical legacy of the Ashanti kingdom.

He stated that renaming the airport to honor Otumfuo Agyemang Prempeh I and commissioning it alongside the Asantehene’s anniversary reflects the deep respect and reverence his government has for traditional institutions.
