-As Thousands Boo Him Off Stage At Global Citizens Festival
The corruption and economic mismanagement of the Akufo Addo administration has caught up with it as President Akufo-Addo was heaped with scorn at the Black Star Square on Saturday when he mounted the podium to deliver a speech at the 2022 Global Citizen Festival.
In a scandal of awkwardness, the Ghanaian president was hooted at by patrons who also heckled him by clapping and chanting “away, away, away.”
The President with a battered image and a poster boy for one of the worst Presidents since independence, attempted to appease the crowd by reminding them that the whole world was watching: “The whole world is in Ghana today,” he pleaded to the disgruntled crowd, but the crowd would not stop until a crestfallen President was led away.
Thousands had attended the event and the youth appeared not to be happy at all with Akufo-Addo whose administration has been punctuated by scandals, from election rigging, to financial impropriety, to sexual misconduct and secreting money into building a cantankerous National Cathedral project.
Video of the shaming of Akufo-Addo has since gone viral on social-media.
Global Citizen is the world’s most significant movement of action-takers and impact makers dedicated to ending extreme poverty NOW.
