He mentioned hardships due to bad economic and financial policies, high levels of corruption and the loss of investments among the failings of Akufo-Addo's administration.

The former president's Facebook post was also to sympathise with the families of the eight people who allegedly lost their lives during the 2020 elections "and to the victims of all forms of violence perpetrated by the insensitive Nana Akufo-Addo administration."

He pledged that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) will investigate what he calls the state-sponsored atrocities and punish those found guilty.

"We will provide appropriate compensation for those who have lost lives and limb," he promised.
