Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bullgod
Popular artiste manager and entertainment pundit, Bullgod, has explained that his harsh criticisms of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo are personal.
Bullgod pointed out that the former president’s behaviour, both during and after the 2016 and 2020 elections, made it difficult for him to earn his respect.
Speaking in a discussion on Hitz FM, Bullgod, while buttressing his points, recounted how he was picked up by the National Investigations Bureau (formerly BNI) in 2021 over comments he made about the former president.
“I don’t understand why people say I’ve been insulting the former president. Those are not insults; those are opinions.
“For me and him, my issue is personal. His campaign was mostly begging, and he had no real message. For someone like that, it is hard for me to respect him because he does not respect anyone. He doesn’t deserve it, and anyone who says otherwise must see things differently,” he said.
Bullgod also highlighted instances of disrespect from Akufo-Addo towards citizens, particularly towards traditional leaders, which annoyed him.
“In front of everyone, you tell a sitting chief of a community to get up before they can give you the respect you think you deserve is unacceptable. For chiefs to gather and come meet you at your office, the office they put you in.
“For you to go to Akosombo when the flood happened and say, ‘I don’t know why I’m here; you didn’t vote for me,’ I can’t understand how we are supposed to respect such a person,” he stated.
The outspoken entertainment pundit added, “If you treat someone a certain way, the same will happen to you,” he added.
He then expressed disappointment that the former president, who is a learned person would exhibit such behaviour.
