The contentious statue of President Nana Akufo-Addo, located at the entrance of the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi-Takoradi, sustained damage, reigniting debates over its divisive reception. On Monday, December 16, 2024, a hole was discovered at the back of one leg of the statue.
The cause remains uncertain, with speculation ranging from potential vandalism to structural flaws. Some suspect individuals opposed to the statue’s installation might be responsible, while others suggest natural wear and tear.
Unveiled during President Akufo-Addo’s pre-election tour, the statue was meant to honor initiatives such as the hospital’s rehabilitation, the Sinohydro interchange, and Takoradi Market Circle redevelopment. Despite its intended symbolism, the statue has sparked mixed reactions from residents since its unveiling.
