Outspoken Ghanaian cleric, Prophet Kumchacha, has labelled Nana Addo as Ghana’s worst leader of all time.
Speaking in an interview on Adom TV at the inauguration of President John Dramani Mahama at the Black Star Square, Prophet Kumchacha did not mince words about his dissatisfaction with Akufo-Addo’s administration.
“We have all witnessed the poor governance under Akufo-Addo’s leadership,” Kumchacha stated.
“The entire world recognises him as the worst president in Ghana’s history. Today marks the end of his tenure, and that is why I am here. What we are witnessing today is tragic. Akufo-Addo is Ghana’s greatest adversary. If you are asked to find the devil and you encounter Nana Addo, then you have found him.”
While Kumchacha’s critique of the former president was scathing, he acknowledged one noteworthy achievement during Akufo-Addo’s administration: the reconciliation with the family of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings after years of estrangement.
However, Kumchacha condemned what he described as financial mismanagement during Akufo-Addo’s presidency. He specifically took issue with the allocation of $58 million for what he referred to as a “swimming pool” under the guise of constructing the National Cathedral.
“Even that [reconciliation] was overshadowed by frivolous expenditures, such as spending $58 million to dig a swimming pool under the pretext of building a National Cathedral,” he added.
Looking ahead, Prophet Kumchacha expressed optimism about Ghana’s future under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama.
He believes the country is poised for significant progress in the coming years.
