A video quickly making the rounds on social media of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at an event believed to be a funeral has caught the attention of many.

In the 12-second video, the president is shown making his way to greet traditional leaders at the event.

But in what should have been a routine activity, the president and one of his bodyguards are seen signalling to some of the chiefs to rise to their feet before he greets them.

In the video, when the president reached one particular chief, who was also seated, he gesticulated at him and then, as if to communicate something to him, pointed at himself and then again hand-gestured to the traditional leader to rise to his feet.

He did this before President Akufo-Addo extended his hand to the man to shake it.

It is unclear where the president was and what event it was, but several popular pages have shared the video, especially on X.

Although not entirely related, last year there was a viral video of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at an event together with Henry Quartey, the current Minister of the Interior. In the video, the president is seen pointing in a certain direction and ordering the Minister to attend to something.

It was later reported that the president was unhappy that some chiefs at the commemorative tree-planting exercise on Green Ghana Day 2023 had refused to stand when the national anthem was played.

The reaction from that video was also met with a lot of mixed feelings.
