Franklin Cudjoe, the outspoken President of IMANI Africa, has strongly responded to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s statement regarding the legacy of President Akufo-Addo.
In a recent public comment, Bawumia, the NPP’s 2024 flagbearer, drew comparisons between President Akufo-Addo’s leadership and that of former President Kufuor, suggesting that just as Kufuor was eventually vindicated after facing criticism, Akufo-Addo’s legacy would similarly be celebrated by posterity.
However, Franklin Cudjoe dismissed this claim in no uncertain terms, emphatically stating, “No way. It will never happen. From now, Akufo-Addo remains the worst terrible leader since 1844.”
His response reflects a deeply critical view of the current administration, which has faced heavy scrutiny for issues ranging from economic challenges to governance concerns during Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
Cudjoe’s comment highlights the ongoing debate in Ghana about the legacy of the Akufo-Addo government, particularly as the country grapples with an economic crisis and public dissatisfaction over some key policies.
While Bawumia’s remark points to a belief in future historical vindication, Cudjoe’s reaction underscores the strong opposition to the administration’s performance, with many critics feeling that Akufo-Addo’s leadership has caused long-term harm to the nation.
