This "try me and see" president is truly power-drunk. Additionally, he has this bloated ego and sense of entitlement.
This short ugly dwarf ape is full of pride. If this ugly lunatic imbecile was handsome I don't know how he would have carried himself.
Just look at the open display of arrogance and disrespect towards our traditional leaders. The fool of a bodyguard gesturing disrespectfully calls himself the chief of Alajo yet lacks traditional protocol. Akufo Addo goes to ...

A power-drunk ugly criminal ape.
According to the report, it's unclear where the president was and where the event also was, and yet they want us to believe this NDC propaganda.
They concocted such lies in 2008, and Ghanaians mistakingly voted for them, but ...

Well, in the UK, you'll have to stand to greet the Head of State! Go figure!
Have you finished cleaning your toilets?You such an idiot.From your submission,I am well aware that you can't be doing any intelligent work in London.Idiot!

By law, nobody can force his neighbour to get up to greet him, in the same way, no one sitting down can force another person to greet him. That would be against their human rights. Some things are done freely out of tradition ...

when human beings falsely elect an ape this is what they get in return
This thing called Akronfuo Chimp Addo, is something, I blame ignorant Ghanaians who voted for someone who has a Down syndrome.
Was that a bodyguard telling the chiefs what to do? Heeerr... Ghanaians...its sweet paaa. Next time follow slogans and party songs.
Obviously the man was wrong but you sound like you're full of shit yourself. Is it hatred or bush manners? Haaba! Mumble-jumbling with insults like an uncouth toddler struglling between coughing and farting. Easy,bro!
This ugly akyem sakawa dwarf baboon is an uncouth,
uncircumcised, and unintelligent idiot.
This is what happens when you choose an idiot as your president.What a shameless moron of a president.How did Ghana get here?
KARMA IS REAL- AKUFO ADDO WILL DISGRACE HIMSELF :
Constitutionally, the President is right. He is not just the Head of Government; he is also the Head of State. He is above all authorities, including traditional authorities. By that design, even paramount chiefs should stand ...

So you mean if it's the asantehene they will there do this to him.
THE MOST FOOLISH UGLIEST CHIMPAZEE APE BROUGHT FROM THE FOREST TO RULE HUMAN.
This ugly chimpanzee has no respect. Would he do that to his taxi driver chief kyebi hene ? I can see why Dormaahene refused to stand up for this idiot the last time they met. His time is coming
You cannot force a chief to get up to greet you, whether it is disrespectful of the chief or not. If that chief refuses to get up, by law, nobody can force him to do so. This is not the first time a chief has been ordered to ...

Interestingly, these chiefs actually voted for him. Why won't they just stop attending the programs that Nana Addo is invited to?
When you reach the point where you are desperate to control other people's bodies, then you really have a problem.
Nana Akufo-Addo is a fool. The only thing this ape look alike knows is to lord it over others. Block head and a chimpanzee. Mumu president.
Very good if he did that. These chiefs have no respect for authority. Remember by tradition, you bow and greet a chief at his place not in a public events where he has no authority. The President is the authority of the land, ...

You are a fool period!
Go to your so called slave masters that you people copy everything from them to see if anybody bows to greet their president. Ask Joe Biden your slave master if anybody bows to greet him, not even kids.
Can Nana Addo ask Otumfo) Osei TuTu to stand up to greet him when they meet on different grounds. If he can’t do that then he should give equal respect to all our traditional chiefs and leaders.
Edem is an Asante trying to act like he's Ewe with that name. Otumfur or keybi hene wouldn't stand for this ugly president
The chiefs say they don't have the energy to get up for you. Did you give them food to eat that morning? If not, then leave them alone.
Edem is an Asante, but has adopted the name of his Superiors, which is fine. It's allowed.
Arrogant baboon. Had it being the Ashanti hene he would do that. He doesnt respect other tribes apart from his own. Disrespectful president
Arrogant baboon. Had it been the Asanti-hene he wouldn't do that. He doesn't respect other tribes apart from his own. Disrespectful president
Arrogance is in my DNA. I eat and sleep Arrogance.
Wow!
Please let us try this: Let one chief defy him publicly one day, and let's see what he will do.
That will be interesting to watch
But chiefs in Kumasi can sit down but any other chiefs can do that ,or in Kumasi Akoffo addo have no control over that land u see how hypocrite u guys are
The chiefs in Ghana are fools. They have sold their power and authority to politicians. This is why this idiot keeps disrespecting them. If they cease taking envelopes and cars from these thieves their credibility will reson ...

This old chimpanzee is power drunk. Boi!
But why doesn't he try this foolishness in Kumasi? The arrogance is nauseating.
Even though I am not a fun of the President, culturally, the Chiefs were wrong. If the President had visited them in Palaces, they may decide to remain seated to welcome the President. But at public ceremonies or functions, t ...

You are wrong..No matter where the chiefs are they dont getup to greet when they ere sitting .It is other way round..Stop been bias.No matter where the Asantehene is sitting , he doesn't get up to greet dignitaries.
You are even more foolish than the chiefs. Your analysis smacks of idiocy. Gyimii
Are you suggesting this can happen in ksi?
You people belonged to Eweland and Ashanti people, to make you weak, have divided Eweland, forming Oti Region, which YOU allowed. Now you see him disrespecting you? you people. Serves you right. Does he do that to Akan chie ...

Asem b3n koraaa ni, whatnat all is wrong with this man... So arrogant and disrespectful, why..
Whoever voted for Akuffo Addo should question their existence.
Those asking if he can dare do that to Asantehene are going too far. His village chief who takes GNPC monies for festivals will not even stand. This is a mark of arrogance infused in ego.
Power drunk
Every person at the scene has to rise up and keep standing when the Ghana National Anthem is playing. No exception. At any public function, every person has to rise to shake the hand of the person with the highest authority. ...

As a minimum a leaders serves his pple and must not be arrogant..nana addo should just wave to great the chiefs and not ask them to rise..that's arrogance my brother
It just shows that people have lost respect for him. He should take a cue from these actions from the people even though not the best
For raising his hands that way they should have sat and ignore him even if they were wrong to sit...u don't treat pple like that..it's arrogance...they should have blasted him while still sitting....they are leaders of territ ...

Who at all does this shotman think of himself ?
Lazy journalism so what?
Obviously he doesn't have the charisma to be accorded any reverence; yet, he wants people to acknowledge him in public. Positional power is recognised when the occupier commands some respect not this disgrace of a president!
Someone once said the "Chiefs would run away and leave their sandals behind ".
GhanaWeb you are not serious website at all.give as fact not what is on social media.learn from Kwame sefa kai.you sometimes introduce insultes to your platform.why?
If they are not fools, they will not stand up. They have all taken bribe from him so they must be ordered to stand for the rare dwarf.
The chiefs got what they wanted.
Shame on you ghanaweb! This not a chief the said linguist. In the traditional set up the linguist would stand for the chief. Check your fact well
WE ARE NOT BLIND.... STOP DEFENDING THE CHIMPANZEE
You have forgotten to talk about the president's daughter making a call by her dad at a program while the national anthem was being played. He has lost his respect after making them forth class citizens by disenfranchising t ...

Some of the chiefs deserve every humiliation thrown at them. They accepted his bribe and voted him into office.
Apart from Okyehene and Otumfour, this clueless old man has no respect for any other chief in Ghana.
Trust me the respect for otumfur is ONLY to get the Ashanti vote that's all. He really could careless about asantehene
Hmmm! Can the President do that at Otumfour's palace or at Kibi? Time will tell.
Does this arroant imp not know respect is earned?
Our president has no respect for chiefs... except Otumfuor and kyebihene. Na who cause amm? Our chiefs take kickbacks from politicians and become their puppets. The chiefs sell lands for gallamsey and become puppets on their ...

To all traditional chiefs....never stand for any president because you guys are the custodian of the land,Akufo Addo is empty and weak leader he shows fear and not courage...one slap he is gone...honestly
Hahahahaha. Hmmmmmm
I have told you of the misguided arrogance of this twat. Full of himself. Too pompous
His daughter was on the phone while the national anthem was on session.
Look you people are hypocrite because, these our chiefs don't even respect God when they attend church and are asked to stand they don't so what is the big deal about this?

Nana Nero Domitian Addo
Akuffo Addo is a curse and Bawulair Timothy is a disaster piriod.
Was the bodyguard using his left hand?
They deserve it,He should do them so,next time
Chiefs in Ghana will learn sense.
I am still trying hard to figure out how right thinking Ghanaians used their thumbs and voted for this man in 2016 when the signs were visible that he could not be trusted to lead Ghana. Shocking !!!!
Arrogant, disrespectful and super incompetent human being. See his face
Waalook, the ego of a very short, "handsome", non-performing president. Aaaaaaaaah!
In Ghana, we only talk about irrelevant issues. Currently, the sun is burning us to death. No one is thinking of converting this free energy to cool ourselves. Listen to what we are talking about. Even if you don't respect so ...

it serves you people right laa…you are even lucky he has few months to go….But Akufo addo… you will be remembered for all these things…..You won’t leave forever you know….on that day…..what next?
As a journalist,I didn't think you investigated this before posting it,in your write-up you don't know where the incident happened yet you just saw the video and you decided to write something, it unprofessional
Can he order even his kyebi chief to rise?? Go and try this with Otumfuo let's see. Ahhh and you sat and watched your daughter browsing phone in state
If you were to be handsome and a good leader like I don’t know what you will do …. full power drunk
Volta and Oti Regional House of Chiefs must rise up against power drunk attitude. Where in Ghana do chiefs rise up for a President? Let this be the last time. Why does he lower his cloth when he gets to Otumfo? People of Vol ...

Our traditions, culture, values, norms and everything that define us as a people is alien to Akufo-Addo. Otherwise, would he have advocated French as our second language? We sold our destiny to an imposter.
When he went to peoples homes begging for vote , pounding fufu , sweeping and washing their clothes and many things today he is a lord to our chiefs . Hmmmmm Ghana

This old arrogant man has always disrespected the chiefs and people of the Volta region. He is soo foolish and does realised he is the president who we foolishly voted for. But only time will tell foolish old shit.....
Indiscipline on the part of chiefs!!
Well if a chief won't rise up to greet a president then the president can also choose to ignore to greet that chief.
Come on!!! You EARN Respect!! You don’t DEMAND respect.
Useless man
President Akuffo Addo is suffering from mild AUTISM. His Egoistic Arrogance is primarily a chronic sickness. A standby physician with timely medications will help minimize the excesses of the chronic condition.
Mo so me hwe
OH MY GOD, WHAT A STUPID AND FOOLISH PRESIDENT. GHANAIAN SHOULD WISE UP.
Chiefs must respect the president of the nation because no chief or king is above the President of the Republic irrespective of which political party is in power
Please, can you see the asantehene getting up for any president? Especially if that president can't show any development and progress in any of the ministerial sector that he or she is heading?
It is always proper for people to reciprocate the courtesies extended to them.
Apart from being the President he is older than most of the Chiefs that he goes to greet.
Why sit down as if you were not properly trained.

The honourable Chiefs should stand their grounds and ask him to leave their homes. This arrogant dwarf needs to be shown his smoothness level.
Poverty is making our chiefs act like robots
I think protocol was breached
Normally, at funerals, the MC will announce the coming of a guest, and people will rise up
I blame the organization of the funeral/MC
As for this Lilliput err. Low confi man.
The midget knows Ghanaians don’t hve respect him because of his personality and his performance. No matter what it’s already in our history that he’s the worst president
Would nana Addo say this to Ashanti Hene or kyebi chief
Imagine Kwame Nkrumah asking chiefs to stand up to be greeted Akufo Addo is a completely failed president

Those chiefs are disrespectful, do they not know that there's something called protocols? Nana as president represents Ghana and so is bigger than all of them put together, protocol demands that they stand and great him
