Social media users particularly on Twitter have demanded that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo resigns in the wake of a similar action by the UK Prime Minister.
Boris Johnson on July 7 announced his resignation as the Conservative party leader.
His resignation was triggered by myriads of issues including the cost of living crisis, a tax rise and most recently the mass resignation of cabinet ministers.
“I’d agreed with Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of our backbench MPs, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. And the timetable will be announced next week.
“So I want to say to the millions of people who voted for us in 2019, many of them voted Conservative, for the first time. Thank you for that incredible mandate. The biggest Conservative majority, since 1987,” he said.
While the dust is yet to settle over the matter, some social media users particularly on Twitter are calling on President Akufo-Addo to do the same.
The proponents have cited Ghana’s economic hardship coupled with the rising cost of fuel and the general increase in the cost of living as the basis for their demand

Worse time for Boris Johnson. Resignations upon resignations. 27 and counting. Akuffo Addo and his ministers should learn from them

A true sign of patriotism— Prince lord (@HisPrinceness) July 7, 2022
Akuffo addo may wish to resign but afraid that his presidential immunity will be dysfunctional after resignation and will be imprisoned for the economic, financial and abuse of constitional atrocities.#akuffoaddomustresign

Boris Johnson said he’ll serve until a new leader is elected, how I wish Ghana’s president Akufo Addo will follow his footsteps 🙁

The reasons for Boris Johnson’s resignation are mild compared to what Akufo Addo has done to Ghana.

Everything happening now proves that Akufo-Addo came to steal,kill and destroy the Ghanaian economy.
