Solomon Owusu, a senior communicator for the Movement for Change, has called on the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to invite former President Nana Akufo-Addo for questioning over his role in the controversial National Cathedral project.
Owusu argued that just as former President John Mahama was once invited by the OSP, Akufo-Addo must also be held accountable for financial decisions made under his leadership, particularly concerning payments made toward the cathedral project.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor at one point invited President Mahama and questioned him. This is an opportunity for this administration to also question Nana Akufo-Addo. Because he paid—in one of the responses, they started making payments even before signing agreements,” he stated on TV3’s KeyPoints.

According to Owusu, documents from the National Cathedral Secretariat directly implicate the former president, citing that he personally engaged the Secretariat and authorized payments in advance of formal agreements.
“The National Cathedral Secretariat mentioned Nana Akufo-Addo’s name.
“In fact, they said he engaged them and started paying. So, they can go and find out from him.
“They have given you a clue that you should go and find out from him and let us know whether he had the power to do what he did,” he added.
Touching on the future of the National Cathedral project, Owusu made his position clear—he does not support its continuation. Instead, he suggested using it as a symbol of failed governance.
“I disagree with anybody that would say that we continue with the project.
“In fact, in the next 10 years, if my candidate was in power, what we would have done was to have a very big billboard and write: how not to govern a country,” he declared.
