Upper Dixcove Traditional Council has disclosed that it cost them 30,000 to erect the controversial statue in honour of President Nana Akufo Addo at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital roundabout in Takoradi in the Western Region.
According to Obrempong Nana Hima Dekyi XIV, a member of the Council, his colleagues willingly contributed the amount to fund the erection of the statue to appreciate the President for the many projects he has executed in the Western Region since assuming power.
President Nana Akufo-Addo is facing a storm of criticism on social media after unveiling a statue of himself.
Many Ghanaians see it as an act of self-promotion rather than public service, sparking backlash online.
