The Presidency has played down reports that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was booed during his recent Ashanti Region tour.
On social media, videos showed the president’s convoy being booed by some onlookers at the Kejetia market, where he had gone to inspect ongoing construction.
However, Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communications at the Jubilee House, told Citi News that he was unaware of the jeers from onlookers.
“I didn’t hear anything. Even the president himself [didn’t hear anything too]. Some of us were a little bit taken aback [when we saw that in the media],” he said.
Mr. Arhin also mentioned the Global Citizen Festival concert last month, where the President was booed while delivering a speech.

“It’s similar to what happened at the Global Citizen Festival.” A group of people are standing somewhere doing their own thing and recording… But, in the meantime, once you’re in front of it, you literally don’t hear anything.”
