The Paramount Chief of Lower Dixcove, Nana Akwasi Agyeman IV, has refuted claims by the former Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, that the chiefs of the Western Region donated the controversial Akufo-Addo statue mounted in front of the Effia-Nkwanta Hospital in Sekondi.
The statue was unveiled during the former president's thank-you tour of the region in November 2024, ahead of the December general elections.
It became an object of contempt and revulsion for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), its presidential candidate, and then-Vice-President, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia.
