A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has criticised former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for using the Coat of Arms of Ghana as a letterhead on a correspondence dated July 14, 2025.
Anyidoho argued that the Coat of Arms, which serves as the official Seal of the State, is a symbol reserved strictly for the sitting president, and its use by any other person constitutes a breach of protocol.
He said this in a post on X on July 15, 2025. "The Coat-of-Arms is the Seal of the State and must only be used by a Sitting President.
This anomaly must be rectified," he stated.
