Former President Nana Akufo-Addo Roasted by MP; made him the MOST COOKED African President with a Bibe and Wife Snapped following the parliamentary grill of her husband.
Facing scathing criticism during his final State of the Nation Address (SONA) in January 2025, as Deputy Minority Leader Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah branded his tenure the “worst in the Fourth Republic wife of the president Madam Rebecca overtly reacted.” Addressing Parliament, Buah accused Akufo-Addo of leading Ghana into economic turmoil, citing rising debt levels, youth unemployment, and the controversial National Cathedral project. He described the outgoing president’s leadership as a “timely reminder of how not to govern a country,” drawing strong reactions across political and social platforms.
Tensions peaked when First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, visibly upset by the accusations, confronted Buah following the session. According to eyewitnesses, she reportedly told him, “Do not try those words on my husband again,” before abruptly exiting the parliamentary chamber, mumbling concerns about decorum and respect. The encounter quickly gained traction online, with many interpreting her response as a sign of deep frustration.
While the phrase “most cooked African president” gained popularity on social media following Buah’s remarks, it remains a subjective and exaggerated label. Analysts point out that while Akufo-Addo did face strong criticism at home, other African leaders such as Robert Mugabe and Omar al-Bashir have historically endured far greater scrutiny on the global stage. Nonetheless, the dramatic exchange between Buah and the First Lady highlights the politically charged atmosphere surrounding Akufo-Addo’s legacy.
