Nana Yaa Jantuah, the former secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), has accused President Akufo-Addo of prioritizing his legacy over the welfare of the nation.
Speaking during a panel discussion on TV3's NewDay, Jantuah criticized the president for promoting Brigadier General Michael Opoku to a higher military rank after the controversy surrounding the violent events during the Ayawaso by-election. "If you truly care for your people, you would not bring back someone who inflicted harm on them and reward him with a promotion," Jantuah stated.
She suggested that Akufo-Addo's primary motivation was to secure his place in history alongside his father, who also served as president of Ghana.
Jantuah raised concerns over the president's decision to promote Opoku despite his role in the violent events during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election, where security forces, under Opoku's command, were involved in the infamous disturbances.
