Viral videos of traders hooting, booing and jeering at President Nana Addo Danqua Akufo-Akufo emerged on social media few days ago when he was touring the Ashanti region.
This generated discussions with some suggesting that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were the masterminds.
Social commentator Bernard Allotey Jacobs says those hooting at the President were not traders.
"If someone says it was GUTA members who were hooting at the President, I don't believe that that is true. It is never true because it was so selective . . . It has happened to every President and Presidential candidate. And that is part of our character that for Ghanaians, they don't like hardship," he said.
Speaking to this on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwamena Duncan, former Central Regional Minister says those accusing the NDC may be justified because "it is not beyond their doing".
"They speak as if they know the minds of everyone in the Ashanti Region . . . you think that a political party which is so desperate . . . looking for power and using all kinds of means to do that; you think that it is beyond them to mobilise (people) and get them positioned somewhere and video themselves? You think that NDC, this is beyond them? Then their rented press will pick it up; all to bring a dampener on the visit of the President . . . but the President will not be distracted," he stated.

Interesting, if the NDC can mobilize their supporters to hoot and boo at the president in his ' stronghold' more so at a time when the NDC is in opposition then the NDC has power in the Ashanti region. I pity the NPP communicators, just let Akuffo Addo know that Ghanaians including his own party supporters are fed up with him. Remember he's going and will never be the president of Ghana after December 2024. Those of you pretending all is well don't know you are damaging your own political future. The man has used you to get what he wants and after getting all he wants you are still defending the indefensible because of the occasional left overs that fall your way. In his own home region the people are booing and hooting at him, Is the Akyem Akroso hooting to NDC orchestrated?
