Some Ghanaians on the X platform are not pleased with the unveiling of a sculpture to honour the outgoing president, Nana Akufo-Addo.

President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday, November 6 unveiled a statue of himself at the entrance of Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi as part of his one-day “thank you” tour of the Western Region.

Commenting on the statue’s unveiling, the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah said the monument honours the President’s contributions to the region.

He highlighted key projects, including the rehabilitation of Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, the construction of a three-tier Sinohydro interchange, and the redevelopment of the Takoradi Market Circle, all spearheaded under President Akufo-Addo’s administration.

Meanwhile, these projects remain incomplete. This information has fueled criticism against the monument.

They argue that Ghana under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo has experienced intense economic hardships. They referenced the rising inflation, high public debt stock, high cost of food and transportation and lack of developmental projects promised by the incumbent government.

X users are describing the President as Nebuchadnezzar who built a gold statue, ninety feet high and nine feet thick and set it up on the Dura plain in the province of Babylon.
