“He then began to feel unwell and was subsequently admitted to hospital,” the statement revealed.

The Presidency reassured the public that Nana Bediatuo Asante is currently in stable condition and responding well to treatment.

“He is currently in stable condition and responding well to treatment,” the statement noted, adding that his medical team is confident about his recovery.
