Statues are primarily erected to honor notable individuals and figures, celebrating their significant contributions to a cause or nation.
They also act as reminders of these individuals' legacies for future generations and preserve cultural heritage.
Ghana is home to numerous statues dedicated to past presidential leaders, commemorating their important contributions to the nation and keeping their memories alive.
Despite the strong patriotism of Ghanaians, acts of vandalism and the destruction of statues honoring two key presidential figures have, over the years, left a negative impact.
