Rev Christian Kwabena Andrews, founder and leader of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), has expressed a critical yet supportive view of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, praising his efforts while condemning those around him.
In an interview on CTV’s morning show “Dwabo,” Mr Andrews popularly known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom described the President as “good” and hardworking but asserted that he is surrounded by embezzlers.
“Nana Akufo-Addo is working, as he sits there, he’s really working. It is those surrounding him who are thieves. He’s good, he’s really working,” the GUM leader emphasised.
Recounting a personal interaction, Kyiri Abosom shared: “When 2024 began I phoned Nana Akufo-Addo, Bediatuo was the one who answered the phone and said they were abroad but he handed him [Nana Addo] the phone as soon as he heard it was me. I requested to see him, so he invited me over on their return home. I went to his office to talk, and I left there around midnight.”
The GUM leader raised concerns about the country’s debt and questioned the actions of government officials.
“Each Ghanaian owes a debt of GHS22,000. They are thieves; all that money, what did they do with it?” he quizzed, adding, “These people, you can’t trust them, you can’t believe them.”
