Some women residents of Vakpo Todzi in the Volta Region expressed negative sentiments towards the name ‘Akufo-Addo,’ associating it with “pain, suffering, and constant bad news from Accra.”
According to these women, since the election of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, their children residing and working in Accra have faced difficulties due to what they perceive as the President’s “bad leadership.”
The women claimed that their sons in the capital consistently complain about issues such as “bad business, job losses, and tribal victimization.”
The sentiments were shared by residents of Vakpo Godzi, which is incidentally the hometown of ACP (Assistant Commissioner of Police) Benjamin Agordzor, who was detained but later acquitted.
One resident mentioned that the Akufo-Addo government’s perceived poor performance has impacted their lives, as their sons, who previously sent them mobile money, now only ask for prayers due to challenges they face in Accra, Aflao, and Kumasi.
“We have only seen and heard bad news since Akufo-Addo came. Under Akufo-Addo, we suffer too much before our hands can go to our mouth. Our children in Accra are complaining everyday about hardship and victimization…If I call my boy right now, you will hear him. It is not well. … we have heard too much bad news [already] since his election.” one resident said in native Ewe.

They say all they hear from their sons in the capital are complaints of “bad business, job losses and tribal victimization.”

One resident said the Akufo-Addo government is not performing well because their sons in Accra who used to previously send them mobile money every now and then this time around call and only ask for prayers because things are not going well in their lives in Accra, Aflao, and Kumasi.
