President Akufo-Addo as part of his campaign promises in the run up to the 2016 elections was to totally get rid of corruption.
That drive to end corruption led to him appointing Martin Amidu as Special Prosecutor, who recently resigned due to reasons he made known.
His resignation from the office of the special prosecutor created a lot of buzz, with many saying the fight against corruption has been defeated.

In reaction to Amidu's resignation, the communications officer of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Sammy Gyamfi said the fight against corruption under the Akufo-Addo administration is lost.
Sammy Gyamfi in a tweet said;
“We elected a President @NAkufoAddo who is an embodiment of corruption.
A President, who has fought and oppressed all critical voices who’ve dared to expose the rot he is superintending over.
His cup is now full. The fight against corruption has been lost. Sad. #NanaAddoIsCorrupt.”
