The Director of Communications at the Presidency has refuted reports that President Nana -Addo was booed during his tour in the Ashanti Region.
Eugene Arhin says the reports came to him as a surprise because he did not hear anything.
“I didn’t hear anything. Even the president himself didn’t hear anything too. Some of us were a little bit taken aback when we saw that in the media,” he defended in an interview on Citi FM.
Viral social media video captured moments President Akufo-Addo and his entourage were booed on Monday while on their way to the Kumasi Central market.
The group, comprising market women, hawkers and artisans, did not hesitate to express their displeasure at the entourage by hooting at them.
The action of the traders has been interpreted by many as a display of their frustrations over the prevailing economic hardship.
But Mr Arhin believes the traders were going about their own thing just like it happened at the Global Citizens Festival in September.
“It is just like, probably, what happened during the Global Citizen festival. A group of people standing somewhere doing their own thing, and they record but meanwhile, once you are in front there, you literally don’t hear anything,” he said.
Meanwhile, Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, the Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, who believes the act is becoming one too many, has appealed to Ghanaians to stop.
He said there are more appropriate ways through which the citizenry can vent their anger to make their concerns known instead of frequently hooting at the President.

Why not show him the video he really didn't hear anything
Yes of course. You won't hear anything. You can also add you didn't see anything. When God wants to catch a person or group of people even though their ears and eyes are not closed, yet they can't hear and see. On 7th January, 2025 you will hear and see everything fiilli fiilii. When you are no longer in government you will now hear and see the level of destruction you have caused. You have all the the opportunities to gather as much as you can, as to whether the things you have gathered will sustain you, that one you don't have control. Ask some of the richest people who are paupers now. Nobody stole their wealth, they didn't spend it on ladies, their monies never got missing, they didn't mismanage but today they are surviving on the benevolence of friends. That's Gods work. Continue tickling yourself and laugh. Crying is on the way. Can you imagine what will happen if 50% of those who voted for Akuffo Addo decides to curse him for failing them? It's not everybody's sweat that goes to waste, continue tickling yourself and laughing.
Please stop that "I didn't hear, I didn't hear" and you guys get to work. Can't you see what's going on ! Are you that blind as well? People are suffering so much. You guys must WAKE UP !! Aaabah !!
