A senior lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Gyampo, has advised the President to remain grateful to the electorates who voted him into office.
The admonishment was contained in an open letter addressed to President Akufo-Addo, which he posted on Facebook on Monday.
According to the lecturer, the President must not act arrogantly, especially in the wake of the current economic crisis.
He noted that an arrogant posture by the President can hurt the chances of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and further derail the collective efforts of the country in addressing the economic challenges.
“You fell for the trap of arrogance often set by the near unbridled exercise of power, when you called the bluff of voters who were disappointed that their bad roads had not been fixed. This was unpresidential, undiplomatic and uncharacteristic of a leader expected to lead in crisis.
The fact that you are on your way out, does not mean you should show blatant ingratitude to the people you went to beg to give you four more years.
It doesn’t also mean you shouldn’t care if people decide to vote against the very party that enthroned you on the presidency. This is not what Kufuor did to the NPP”, he emphasised.
