Former legal counsel to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Kow Essuman, said history will vindicate the former President’s leadership, describing him as a leader who consistently considered ordinary Ghanaians' interests. Speaking in an interview with JoyNews’ Gemma Appiah, Mr Essuman said people will need time to fully appreciate Mr Akufo-Addo’s approach to governance. “It'll take a bit of time for people to appreciate that the man that we had in the office was the best person who thought about the country. In fact, today some of the things that are happening in this country are testimony to it,” he said. Mr Essuman said his experience working with the former President had convinced him that Mr Akufo-Addo gave considerable thought to the welfare of ordinary citizens. He cited the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, particularly the debate over whether to impose restrictions on movement to contain the spread of the virus.
