Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has acknowledged that economic difficulties and persistent public protests during his tenure played a key role in diminishing his government's popularity.
He admitted that the economic downturn, exacerbated by global challenges, fuelled widespread dissatisfaction among Ghanaians, leading to increased public demonstrations.
Speaking at the launch of a book by former Nigerian Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, Akufo-Addo reflected on the economic turbulence that defined his presidency, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He noted that the crisis severely affected Ghana's financial stability, limiting the government's ability to sustain economic growth and meet public expectations.
