Nobody would have resisted, if Akufo-Addo /NPP had decided to revert the name of the airport to Accra Internatonal Airport.
But if he had attempted to rename after any of UP or former NPP personalities, like he attempted to rename UG after his uncle JB Dankwah, then there would have been an uproar.
To me, names of national places as airports, universities, ports, harbors etc MUST be party-neutral / tribe-neutral. With that, the name would reflect the nation and the chances of constant name changes greatly reduced.
Of course, if some private man calls his own private university 'Obetwani Kofi Wusu College', I have nothing against that.

If Kotoka Int Airport is going to be changed because he was a coup maker, then all places named after Rawlings should be equally changed and even that of Sankara. KSM who championed this cause should also campaign for all places named after Rawlings changed. If he cannot do that then he is tribalistic. NDC is just like the waves of the sea. They have no clue what they are about. Mother Ghana is seriously weeping for a Saviour.
