A Deputy Communications Director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Madam Jennifer Queen, has stated that the 'booing' of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo by some patrons of the Global Citizen Festival was orchestrated by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to her they did so to specifically take away the shine and benefits of the global event which was being held at the Black Star Square in Accra.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, she explained that the NDC having realized the glory, all the benefits and the international recognition the event has brought to the country, planned to mar the beautiful event and court disgrace for the government forgetting that they will be exposed.
"The intel gathered by our National Communication Directorate shows that they sat down to orchestrate this to outshine the beauty of the programme because they were the first group of people who started sharing the video," she said.
She said the NDC rather saw the need to score cheap political points by organizing some individuals with poor manners to disrespect the President.
"The event was to sell the country to the entire globe. So if you end up cutting parts of some videos or instigate people to hoot at the President who is our leader, it speaks very bad of you. Some people want to claim that they are the doyen of wisdom and are acting smart," she said furiously.
"Look, this is becoming a norm these days. If a Minister, or a government official goes to a public function, you find some uncouth people who go out to hoot at them. It doesn't speak well of us as Ghanaians albeit we want to make the government feel unpopular," she added.
Thousands of patrons were at the Black Star Square to witness the Global Citizen Festival, which had a number of local and international artistes performing.
When it was the turn of President Akufo-Addo to make his presentation, a section of the crowd began clapping and chanting 'away, away..."
The incident attracted several social media reactions, with some critics saying it was a reflection of frustrated Ghanaians expressing their disaffection for the President and his government.

Good response from Jennifer the communication I ***barred word*** of party of thiefs Let's focus on stealing more so that you become Minister of Prostitues in 20100
This are the very people that will send NPP to opposition. Is she saying if those at the event were asked to vote ,NPP will get zero? If those hooting at the president were NDC, why did the NPP supporters at same event failed to react by also chanting praises in support of the president? If all those at the event were NDC, then ' breaking the 8' is mere wishful thinking. Until those close to the president tell him Ghanaians are not happy, indeed NPP supporters are the most disappointed, their hopes have been dashed. They can't believe their party is in power. The orphan goes to sleep on a hungry stomach, the one who's parents are alive equally sleeps on a hungry stomach, at least the orphan can comfort himself by saying if my parents were alive i would have been fed. Now what will the one who's parents are alive also say . This is the plight of the NPP supporters of today. Akuffo Addo and his appointees have soon forgotten that ' to him much is given, much is expected ' . To say he is a disappointment is an understatement. Fact is, he is a complete disaster of unimaginable proportions.
No government in the world today will win a national election in the face of the current global crises. If NPP goes to opposition, so be it.
Good response from madam Jennifer. The evil intention of those hired NDC people won't succeed. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo is our president and he's doing very well, so we're proud of him. Any evil intention against him will not be successful
keep telling yourselves lies and dont sit up . Such posture will only drive you into opposition . Mark my words!
