Akufo-Addo Became the Problem Ghanaians Were Solving – Kwaku Bonsam

Spiritual leader delivers scathing critique of former president’s leadership

Controversial spiritual leader Kwaku Bonsam has launched a sharp attack on former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, accusing him of failing to deliver on the promises that secured him power.

According to Kwaku Bonsam, Akufo-Addo once begged Ghanaians to vote for him with assurances that he would solve their problems, but instead became the very problem citizens had to contend with.

“Akufo-Addo begged Ghanaians to vote for him to solve their problems, but he was rather the problem Ghanaians were solving,” Kwaku Bonsam stated.

The outspoken traditional priest argued that the economic hardships, rising cost of living, youth unemployment, and growing public frustration experienced during Akufo-Addo’s tenure reflected a major disconnect between campaign promises and governance realities.

Kwaku Bonsam further suggested that many Ghanaians voted with hope and trust, only to be confronted with policies and decisions that worsened their living conditions rather than improving them.

His comments have sparked renewed debate on social media, with supporters and critics of the former president weighing in on whether Akufo-Addo’s administration met the expectations set during election campaigns.

While supporters of the former president argue that global economic pressures contributed significantly to Ghana’s challenges, critics insist that leadership decisions played a decisive role in the country’s struggles.

The remarks by Kwaku Bonsam add to a growing list of public criticisms aimed at Ghana’s political leadership, as the country continues to reflect on governance, accountability, and the future direction of national leadership.
