Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has joined other Ghanaians in criticizing President Akufo-Addo after a statue of him recently surfaced on social media.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on November 6, 2024, the outspoken journalist noted that the president has left numerous projects incomplete, yet has managed to unveil a statue of himself.

"You build a statue for yourself over uncompleted projects. These people are insufferable!!!" she wrote.

Bridget further suggested that former President John Dramani Mahama should have built a statue of himself in every region where he developed infrastructure.

"Then JM should have built himself a statue in each region he built a Free SHS school, a university, a market, or a hospital," she added.
