After what looked like a little wait, the President, in true statesman fashion approached the direction of the protesting Ghanaians and waved at them before setting off in a Range Rover parked for him.
The protests were organized by the Ghana Action Plan for African Resistance led by one Alhassan Baba in London.

Earlier Alhassan Baba had told the media that “We’re going to send the signal to the international community that majority of Ghanaians are not in favour of that agreement. The US has to go back to the negotiation table, President Akufo Addo needs to put the interest of Ghana first because it’s necessary that in every foreign policy the vital national interest of every country needs to be taken into consideration."
“So you shouldn’t abandon your national interest in the interest of another country and that’s exactly what Nana Akufo Addo is doing to Ghanaians. So we’re going to highlight some of the defects of the agreement, we’re not saying there shouldn’t be agreement, yes, there’s global insecurity and we need to work together but looking at the content of this particular agreement it’s not going to benefit our country," he added.
Back in Ghana, another group is currently demonstrating in Tamale the Northern Regional capital over the Ghana-US Military deal.
