Nana Boadi Amponim Abodade III, the Krontihene of Akyem Asoum, has openly criticized outgoing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's administration, expressing relief at its conclusion and optimism for the incoming leadership of President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
In a recent interview, Nana Abodade III accused the Akufo-Addo administration of being the worst in the history of Ghana. "Ghana has been stripped naked; the robbers have stolen all the goodies." He stated.
He furthered that Akufo-Addo's gross disrespect towards traditional authorities by instructing chiefs to stand and greet him during official events is one of the things they are not looking out for. "Let's see if he [Akufo-Addo] will now go around and instruct chiefs to stand up and greet him." He remarked.
Expressing hope for the future, Nana Abodade III likened President-elect Mahama to a biblical Good Samaritan, suggesting he would rescue Ghana from its current challenges.
