Controversy Surrounds Okomfo Anokye Statue Decoration* A recent photo of the Okomfo Anokye statue in Kumasi has sparked outrage on social media. The iconic statue, honoring the legendary Ghanaian traditional priest, has been decorated with colors and symbols of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The image, which went viral, shows the statue draped in NPP's signature red, blue, and white colors, along with party flags. Many Ghanaians expressed dismay, accusing the NPP of politicizing a national monument. "Okomfo Anokye's legacy transcends party politics," tweeted @KofiGhana. "This is disrespect." Others saw humor in the situation. "Maybe Okomfo Anokye wants to join politics?" joked @AdwoaAsante. The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly has since issued a statement distancing itself from the decoration, promising an investigation. This incident highlights tensions between Ghana's major political parties ahead of the 2024 elections. The debate raises important questions about the role of politics in Ghanaian culture and heritage.
