Former President Akufo-Addo can now revel in the success of a project that was initially plagued by accusations of corruption. The National Cathedral, once conceived as a monumental structure that could attract tourists and serve a spiritual purpose, faced numerous obstacles during its early stages. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) unleashed a barrage of negative propaganda in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, tarnishing the project's reputation with false allegations.

Ultimately, the project's success can be attributed to Akufo-Addo's ability to navigate the stormy political waters and allow the project to benefit from its perceived value in the end.
