The former United Kingdom Ambassador to Ghana, H.E Jon Benjamin, has criticized the decision by Nana Akufo-Addo to erect a statue of himself in Sekondi.
In a tweet reacting to the news that the statue had been vandalized, Benjamin kicked against the idea of Akufo-Addo's statue being erected while he was still in officeIn fact, the ambassador said no one should have their statue erected while still alive, much less when in office.
He tweeted: "Nobody should ever put up a statue of themselves while still alive, let alone while still in office,"Check out his post below…Nobody should ever put up a statue of themselves while still alive, let alone while still in office.#NanaAkufoAddo #Ghana #statues https://t.co/3Io9zKAvSh- (((Jon Benjamin)))🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇱✡️ ⚒🇬🇭 (@JonBenjamin19) January 13, 2025
