Three members of the public have petitioned Parliament to begin impeachment proceedings against President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko, and Stephen Kwabena Attuh are the petitioners.
According to the three, if the allegations leveled by one Evelyn Aidoo Alias Serwaa Broni against the President are proven to be true, it would amount to “human rights abuse, abuse of office, exposing Ghana’s security to external threat…” as well as “…bringing the name of the high office of President into disrepute.”
Serwaa Broni) alleged among other things that she had some intimate relationship with the President Akufo-Addo which subsequently led to threats on her life including the use of one Mr. Hopeson Adroye who was then the Deputy National Security Coordinator in charge of the Airport and other national security operatives to stage an armed robbery attack on her in order to retrieve evidence of the said encounter with the President from her phone and other electronic gadgets.
According to her, the incidents left her traumatized which if proven to be true, would amount to a breach of the Oath of Office of the President.
