His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the president of Ghana, was booed on stage during the 2022 Global Citizen Festival stage at Accra's Black Star Square.
After delivering his keynote speech, H.E. Nana Addo was jeered by the audience.
He discussed the efforts made by the Ghanaian administration to eradicate poverty and preserve the country's unity.
He started off his speech with, “Ladies and gentlemen, I extend a hearty Akwaaba, our word of welcome, from a very hospitable people. To all of you, who have come from afar and wide, to our vibrant city of Accra, Ghana’s capital, to join us on this great occasion.”
His Excellency discussed the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war and climate change on the global and Ghanaian economies.
The young were tasked by President Nana Addo to discover innovative answers to global issues.
Since no statesman has ever gotten this type of response, many have criticized the crowd's behaviour as blatant.
As this event is being hailed as having the best sound engineering ever, artists like Stormzy, Sarkodie, Usher, Gyakie, Stonebowy, and others have left profound imprints on Ghana's memories.
