0

Ghanaians are outraged after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo unveiled a statue of himself at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, sparking widespread criticism on social media.

The statue was revealed during a “thank you” tour of the Western Region, with the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, defending it as a commemoration of the President’s contributions to the region, including the rehabilitation of the hospital, construction of a three-tier Sinohydro interchange, and redevelopment of Takoradi Market Circle.

However, many of these projects remain incomplete, leading to accusations of “undeserved self-aggrandisement.”

President Akufo-Addo claimed that about 80% of his campaign promises have been fulfilled, highlighting advancements in education, healthcare, infrastructure development, industrial reform, agriculture, and cocoa production.

He also urged Ghanaians to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the forthcoming elections, presenting Free Senior High School (SHS) as his legacy.

In a shocking revelation, renowned Ghanaian prophet Nigel Gaisie confessed that his prophecies aren’t always spot on. During a candid interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, Gaisie acknowledged that prophets can make mistakes.

The Prophetic Hill Chapel founder expressed gratitude for mentors like Reverend Eastwood Anaba, who offer guidance and accountability.

Gaisie’s honesty sparks conversation about prophecy, humanity, and spiritual growth.

Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the leader of Ghana’s #FixTheCountry movement, has publicly shared an audio recording reportedly capturing a conversation with an unnamed minister discussing an alleged government bribe offer.

In the recording, the minister proposes a private meeting involving the Minister for Finance, as well as logistical support for Barker-Vormawor’s safe return to Ghana.

This follows Barker-Vormawor’s recent claim that he was offered $1 million by Minister Albert Kan-Dapaah in 2021 to end his activism.

The Ministry of National Security has denied this allegation but confirmed a 2021 meeting between the minister and #FixTheCountry members.

Barker-Vormawor asserts that during the meeting, the minister hinted at a government appointment if he halted his advocacy.

The unfolding dispute has led Kan-Dapaah to file a defamation suit against Barker-Vormawor, with the case ongoing in Accra’s High Court.
