And then I experienced him under civilian rule; President Kufuor, President Mills, President Mahama, and now him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve read about previous governments that we\u2019ve had in the history of our country. And I think that President Akufo-Addo has proven to be the worst President that we\u2019ve had.
