Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Kobina Tahiru Hammond, has warned that renaming Kotoka International Airport will tarnish the legacy of former President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Hammond urged the government to focus its energy on more pressing national issues instead of changing the airport’s name.
“If the government is serious about its ‘reset agenda,’ it should focus on resetting important things, not debating the renaming of the airport,” he said.
Mr. Hammond noted that the Kotoka name has been in use for decades.
“It’s not now that they want to change it. If this continues, they will only give Mahama a bad name,” he added.
He also suggested that even if the name is changed, it will eventually be restored over time, as NDC won’t be in power forever.
“Voltarians should not just sit back while the name is changed. Kotoka is part of their region, and allowing this would be very bad,” he stressed.
His comments come amid growing public debate over the government’s proposal to rename Kotoka International Airport as the Accra International Airport.
