The statue of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, located at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, has been completely removed, making way for a new structure.
In a viral post shared by SIKAOFFICIAL stated, “The statue of former President Nana Addo, which was put up at the Efia Nkwanta Regional Hospital roundabout in Sekondi, has been dismantled and is set to be replaced with a new structure”.
It will be recalled that on November 6, 2024, the statue was unveiled to honour the then-president Akufo-Addo. The statue in December 2024 received repairs to the leg after it suffered noticeable damage.
Following the repair works, the entire statue was toppled and destroyed, with the head and the knee area smashed. It reportedly occurred at about 1:30 am on January 13, 2025.
However, reports had suggested that the statue of the former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, located at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, will be reinstalled following repair works.
According to the report, a replacement statue has been completed and will soon be re-erected at the Effiankwanta Regional Hospital Roundabout in Sekondi.
This was revealed by the independent parliamentary candidate Prophet Elisha Joshua for the Evalue Gwira constituency in the 2024 Election, who had earlier pledged to restore the monument, emphasising that such actions of political intolerance should not be condoned.
Speaking in an interview on Connect FM’s Omanbapa Morning Show, Prophet Joshua, “Acts like these must not be encouraged since they could create a dangerous precedent. Tomorrow, someone may decide to destroy whatever President Mahama will also build”.
Prophet Joshua claimed that the statue was initially dismantled due to ongoing road construction at the site.
He revealed he intends to seek formal approval from regional authorities before reinstalling the monument.
Prophet Joshua added, “The main reason it was taken down was because the road was not completed. Now that the road is done, the statue can be erected without opposition from anyone”.
“The roundabout and the pillar where the statue stood are still intact. The new statue has been moulded, and we’ll soon meet with the regional leaders to get their consent for reinstallation,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Paramount Chief of Lower Dixcove, Nana Akwasi Agyeman IV, had already denied involvement in the Akufo-Addo statue.
