Akufo-Addo Angry As Chief Fails To Stand For National Anthem, Sends Minister To Tell Him To Get Up

President Nana Akufo-Addo has been trending online after a video of him showing intense emotion surfaced online.

The video which first hit social media had the president getting angry over the conduct of a chief at the 2023 Green Ghana durbar held on Friday, June 9.

According to a new report by Accra-based Angel FM, Akufo-Addo was angry because the chief had refused to respect the national anthem. The chief was supposed seated as everybody stood while the anthem played.

In a video shared during the news bulletin, Akufo-Addo was seen throwing his hands about in anger as he gave some orders to the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey.

From his gesticulation, Akufo-Addo seemed to be asking Mr Quartey to go and ask the chief to stand up for the national anthem.

He should have handled it by diligently sending someone to caution the chief. But displaying public disgust like that is not good for someone like him.

But if it's true then the chief too must know that it's not ok to do that it's our National Anthem ...and you the chiefs are to ensure the subjects are law-abiding so why then do you disrespect the Nation.
