Akufo-Addo's Photo Removed From Jubilee House, Video Ignites Laughter: "Goodbye Pharoah"

• A video of a man at the Jubilee House removing the photograph of outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo has gone viral
• In the video, the man believed to be a staff of Jubilee House, was seen taking down the photo from the wall of the office
• Netizens who saw the video had mixed reactions, as some laughed and others reminisced over Akufo-Addo's governance

Ghana's 13th President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has ended his tenure after eight years in office.

After serving two terms, he was constitutionally barred from re-election, paving the way for a new administration.

As a result, he will no longer occupy the Jubilee House. John Dramani Mahama, officially sworn in as Ghana's 14th president on January 7, 2024, will succeed Akufo-Addo and occupy the Jubilee House.

As part of the transition process, a video capturing the removal of former President Akufo-Addo's official portrait from the Jubilee House has gone viral.
