Former President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has reiterated his government's belief that the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it sparked is the reason for their loss in the 2024 elections.
Speaking during a book launch for former Nigerian head of State, General Ibrahim Babginda, Akufo-Addo echoed the tired old refrain Ghanaians have heard ad nauseam over the past eight years - that is COVID-19 caused the economic crisis the country fell into.
According to him, the economic crisis triggered by COVID led to protests against his rule which made his government unpopular and eventually, led to their loss in the 2024 elections.
