Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC) has dismissed reports claiming that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo expressed anger towards Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey during the Green Ghana Day Celebration over the weekend.
A video clip from the 2023 edition of the event, held at the University of Ghana, went viral, showing the President seemingly directing the Regional Minister to reprimand a chief for not standing during the National Anthem.
However, the GARCC clarified the situation, stating that the President was not expressing fury towards the Regional Minister. Instead, he was instructing him to address the invited guests who remained seated while the National Anthem was being played.
“We feel compelled to address certain misconceptions arising from this footage, as some have unfortunately misinterpreted the video to presume that the President was expressing fury at the Greater Accra Regional Minister,” the GARCC said in a statement.
Contrary to the misinterpretation, the GARCC explained, “The President was instructing the Regional Minister to take prompt action regarding some invited guests who chose to remain seated in disregard to the National Anthem that was played before the start of the program. The President and all others had been up on their feet in patriotic reverence to the National Anthem.”
The GARCC urged the public and all well-meaning individuals to dismiss the false narrative being spun around the video, which appears to be an attempt to create unwarranted public disaffection.
