Jon Benjamin, former UK Ambassador to Ghana, has expressed disapproval over erecting a statue honoring former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to the diplomat, erecting monuments in one’s honor during their lifetime or tenure in office is wrong.

Mr. Benjamin’s comments come in the wake of the vandalism of the Akufo-Addo statue, which was unveiled in November 2024 in front of Effia Nkwanta Hospital in Sekondi as part of the former President’s “Thank-You Tour” of the Western Region.
