Akufo-Addo’s Convoy Booed At In Kumasi

YEN.com.gh reported in a previous story that president Nana Akufo-Addo seems to be having hard time as some members of the public bash him over the economic challenges and poor development.

Apart from social media criticisms Ghanaians have not spared an opportunity to vent out their displeasure with the president anytime they come close to him.

Last month, Nana Akufo-Addo was humiliated at the UN-organised Global Citizens festival when hundreds of Ghanaian youths booed when he mounted the stage to deliver a speech.

He was booed as he walked towards the podium and he was booed again when he started delivering his speech. The booing got so intense he had to pause the speech at one point for the hooting to subside.

Then weeks later while in Kumasi to inspect some projects market women greeted his convoy with "ehoo, hooo and boo" as it passed through the Adum market.

The Kumasi booing was stunner because the area is a known governing NPP stronghold.

Skyrocketing inflation and the fast depreciation of the cedi against the dollar has increased cost of living, especially for the poor who spend all their income on food.
