Social media reacts to how youth hooted at Akufo-Addo during concert
Social media is rife with concerns over the unfriendly reception given to President Akufo-Addo at a musical concert over the weekend.
During the just-ended Global Citizen Festival, the president had been introduced to tout the government’s moves in prioritising women empowerment among other causes in line with the organisers’ mission for social justice.
But even before the president could make his point, the crowd of youthful revellers chanted against his presence.
