Outrage as President’s Daughter Disrespects National Anthem
In a recent video that has gone viral, President Nana Akufo-Addo’s daughter, Edwina Nana Dokua Akufo-Addo, was caught disrespecting the national anthem during a public function. This incident, which has sparked outrage among Ghanaians, is particularly significant because the president had previously rebuked the Chief of Mempeasem for failing to stand during the anthem.
During the Green Ghana Day Celebration held at the University of Ghana, a video captured President Akufo-Addo angrily directing the Greater Accra Regional Minister to ensure that the chief stood up and observed the National Anthem. However, the chief later explained that his ill health prevented him from doing so.
Contrastingly, Edwina’s behavior at the 30th-anniversary commemoration of her late mother’s death was far from respectful. As the master of ceremony announced the observation of the national anthem, calling on everyone to stand in line with protocol, Edwina was seen seated beside her father, engrossed in a phone conversation. While those around her stood to honor the anthem, she continued talking on her phone until halfway through, when she finally dropped it into her handbag and stood attentively for the remainder of the anthem.
This video has caused a flurry of reactions on social media, with many users accusing the president of being nonchalant about his daughter’s conduct. The incident raises questions about the values and respect for national symbols within the first family.
It is crucial to uphold the integrity of national symbols and show reverence for them. Disrespecting the national anthem not only undermines the significance of this patriotic symbol but also sets a poor example for the citizens of Ghana. As public figures, it is essential for the president and his family to lead by example and demonstrate the utmost respect for the nation’s symbols and values.
In conclusion, the footage of Edwina Akufo-Addo speaking on the phone during the national anthem has ignited public outrage, especially considering her father’s previous rebuke of a chief for a similar offense. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting national symbols and sends a message about the need for all citizens, regardless of their status, to honor and uphold the values of their country.
