President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has scheduled a meeting with former presidents of the republic on Tuesday 18 April.

Mr Akufo-Addo is expected to tap into the knowledge and experience of former President Jerry John Rawlings, President John Agyekum Kufuor, and President John Dramani Mahama during discussions to aid in his administration.

The planned meeting with former presidents was disclosed by Mr Mahama at a meeting with his former appointees on 28 March.

Mr Mahama said when he gets the opportunity to meet Nana Akufo-Addo during the meeting, he would tell him to call the pro-government vigilante groups involved in the seizure of state vehicles to order and proceed with the retrieval of the vehicles in a civil manner.

“Happily he’s [Akufo-Addo] asked to meet ex-presidents – myself, President Kufuor and President Rawlings on the 18th – and if I go to that meeting I’m going to tell him this cannot continue. This thuggery is not good for our country,” he stated.

This will be the first time a sitting president is set to meet all former presidents in the country.
