Term-limited outgoing Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo this week unveiled a golding statue honoring term-limited outgoing Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo, the BBC reports. The golden-colored monument, made up and coated in some indeterminate alloy, stands outside the of western city of Sekondi’s Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital as a tribute to Akufo-Addo’s achievements during his term, of which he self-estimates he fulfilled about 80 percent of his promises.
The 80 year-old Akufo-Addo’s deputy, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, is standing as the ruling New Patriotic Party nominee versus former former President John Dramani Mahama, who is seeking a comeback under the opposition National Democratic Congress’s ticket in next month’s national elections. Maybe Akufo-Addo could’ve waited until after the election just in case the uproar over the at least modestly-sized shiny golden statue dings his chosen successor politically.
