Pan-Africanist and anti-corruption crusader, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba has expressed his disappointment in the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to him, Akufo-Addo begun his tenure with a lot of zeal to uplift Ghana towards a much sustainable and wel-developed nation but that enthusiasm he says, has now been plagued by mismanagement of the country by the President.

Prof. Lumumba, in a Zoom interview said the recent approval by the government to pay spouses of heads of state was disappointing.
“The problem with our leaders is that if you see good in them, they disappoint you very quickly and there is a sense that I’m beginning to feel disappointed in President Akufo-Addo,” Professor Lumumba stated.
Adding, “He started very well. He had ideas talking about industrialisation in every district, he said he will look for Ghana beyond aid. The rhetoric was right but now as I watch him consistently, I’m beginning to see a mismatch between rhetoric and action.”
“When I see Members of Parliament going to parliament and saying the President’s wife deserves an allowance then I know the man whom I thought had great ideas is now down the periscope. That is my unfortunate verdict as I speak,” Professor Lumumba added.
