Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has added her voice to the criticism surrounding President Akufo-Addo after a statue of him appeared on social media.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on November 6, 2024, the outspoken journalist remarked that while the president has left many projects unfinished, he has nonetheless found time to unveil a statue of himself.
“You build a statue for yourself over uncompleted projects. These people are insufferable!!!” she wrote.
Bridget further suggested that former President John Dramani Mahama should have built a statue of himself in every region where he developed infrastructure.
“Then JM should have built himself a statue in each region he built a Free SHS school, a university, a market, or a hospital,” she added.
