Nana Boadi Amponim Abodade III, the Krontihene of Akyem Asuom, has expressed relief at the conclusion of President Akufo-Addo's term, criticizing his administration for widespread corruption and mismanagement.
In a recent interview, Nana Abodade III stated, "Ghana has been stripped naked; the robbers have stolen all the goodies." He further expressed his belief that many traditional leaders share this sentiment, saying, "A lot of chiefs are happy… Some of us are happy that his reign is coming to an end." The Krontihene also criticized President Akufo-Addo's interactions with traditional authorities, alleging instances of disrespect.
He noted, "Let's see if he [Akufo-Addo] will now go around and instruct chiefs to stand up and greet him." Nana Abodade III lamented missed opportunities during Akufo-Addo's tenure, stating, "He could have achieved much more… We pray we never have another Akufo-Addo as President of Ghana." These comments reflect a broader dissatisfaction among some traditional leaders regarding the outgoing administration's governance and its impact on the nation.
