A Ghanaian soldier who fought in World War II says President Nana Akufo-Addo is Ghana’s second-best president ever.
The 96-year-old, WO1 Ashietey Hammond, ranked Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the best-ever head of state in the history of Ghana.
According to him, after witnessing all the presidents in the country’s history and their policies, Professor John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama will be third and fourth respectively.
WO1 Ashitey Hammond is the only survivor among the 210 soldiers who fought in WWII. Speaking to Accra-based TV3, he said President Akufo-Addo is the only president after Nkrumah to commit towards industrialising the local economy.
“I have seen all the presidents that have come…number one is Kwame Nkrumah, number two is Akufo-Addo. I must be frank with you,” he stated.
Meanwhile, singer and political activist, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as APlus expressed grave doubts over President Akufo-Addo’s commitment to the fight against corruption.
According to him, the president’s attitude towards anti-corruption campaigners like former Auditor General, Daniel Domelevo and former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu is unfortunate.
