Akufo-Addo, you really played us – Man slams Akufo-Addo in trending video
A middle-aged Ghanaian man has sparked debate online after releasing a video in which he harshly criticised former President Nana Akufo-Addo, accusing him of failing the country during his time in office.
In the now-viral video, the man didn’t mince words. He claimed that Akufo-Addo wasted Ghanaians’ time and did very little to improve the lives of everyday citizens. According to him, hardship became a constant feature of life under Akufo-Addo’s leadership.
He also criticised the former president for always shifting blame to external factors—like the Russia-Ukraine war—whenever the economy took a downturn. Instead of offering real solutions, he said, Akufo-Addo was quick to point fingers.
Drawing a comparison to the current administration, the man praised President John Mahama’s approach. He noted that despite the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, which has affected economies around the world, Mahama hasn’t used global issues as an excuse. Rather, he said, the current president is focused on fixing the economy and easing the burden on Ghanaians.
He went on to commend Mahama for his efforts in stabilising inflation and working hard to reduce the suffering of the people, even in the face of international challenges. His comments have since sparked discussions on social media, with many weighing in on the leadership styles of both presidents.
