What Ghanaians are saying about Atta-Mill's statue
Grant Gabriel Asaane mentioned:
Very sad, how can you put your name on someone's statue? Is it because he doesn't have Ghana card, anaa?

I'm waiting for the likes of @konkrumah & Wontumi to come and say the names of @NAkufoAddo and @KokuAnyidoho boldly written on "Atta Mills"( or JB Dankwa) statue was as a result of Covid or Mahama or Russia-Ukraine war. Was it their memorial or that of the late president? SHAME!

Meanwhile, the Minority Caucus in Parliament has ordered President Akufo-Addo to immediately go back to effect changes to the inscriptions written on the bust of the late Former President of the Republic of Ghana Prof, John Evans Atta-Mills.
