A speech by Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, calling for Africa to end its dependency on the West recently went Viral. Africans at home and abroad are caught asking themselves; is Akufo-Addo the new Gaddafi?
Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo addressed the European Union in December 04, 2017. A local journalist asked about whether France was going to strengthen its “support” for other African countries aside its former colonies where the majority of French aid is spent.
