President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has once again been caught on camera ordering a traditional ruler to stand before exchanging pleasantries with him.

A viral video from a recent funeral in the Ashanti Region showed the president instructing a chief to stand up before shaking hands with him.

In the video, the chief, who was sitting, reached out his hand to greet the president. However, Akufo-Addo was visibly displeased with the chief’s seated position.

Initially extending his hand in response, Akufo-Addo withdrew it upon realizing the chief was not standing.

He then reprimanded the chief, who complied and stood up to greet him, though the president still seemed unsatisfied.

This incident is reminiscent of a previous occurrence in May 2024 when Akufo-Addo faced criticism for a similar action at a funeral event.
