The young Ghanaian man, who became the center of attention after giving President Nana Akufo-Addo a stern, piercing look during the funeral rites of Akyempimhene Oheneba Adusei Poku in Kumasi on November 18, has broken his silence.
In a recent video, the man noted that he had been cautioned and instigated to apologise to the president for his action.
The reason behind the man’s scowling eyes is clear. He is dissatisfied with the running of the economy by the president. In his video, the man noted he finds no fault with his actions and would not apologise.
He rather noted that President Akufo-Addo must apologise to Ghanaians for failing to execute his promises and make their lives better.

In the previous video gone viral, the unidentified man is seen fixing his gaze on the president as he passed by, maintaining his intense expression until his attention was taken by an unknown individual.
The incident comes at a time of heightened public dissatisfaction with the current administration, with many Ghanaians blaming President Akufo-Addo for the country’s ongoing economic challenges. Rising inflation, mounting public debt, soaring food and transportation costs, and the perceived lack of significant developmental projects have led to widespread criticism of the government.
The funeral, held in Kumasi, attracted a host of prominent dignitaries, including Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, former President John Agyekum Kufuor, government officials, and business mogul Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II struggled to hold back tears during the final rites of the late Akyempimhene.
