Former President has admitted that economic challenges and frequent public protests during his tenure negatively affected his government's popularity.

He attributed much of the economic turmoil to the global health crisis, which significantly impacted economies worldwide, including Ghana, resulting in a sharp decline in the country's financial stability.

According to a report by citinewsroom.com, he made these remarks during the launch of a book authored by former Nigerian Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, on Thursday, February 21, 2025, in Abuja.

Akufo-Addo reflected on the economic turbulence that characterised his presidency, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
