A video circulating on social media has stirred controversy as it shows youths from Gonja land booing President Akufo-Addo.The incident occurred when Akufo-Addo requested Yagbonwura, the area's overlord, to stand and greet him.This request was met with resistance from the Chief, leading to widespread debate and outrage online.

Chieftaincy Ministry Stephen Asamoah Boateng stepped in to defend the President's actions, citing constitutional obligations for Chiefs to show respect to national leaders.According to Boateng, Akufo-Addo's request was in line with protocol, and the President did nothing wrong by expecting the Chief to stand during the greeting.Despite this defence, the President's actions have sparked public anger, with many political experts criticising what they perceive as a disregard for Ghana's customs and traditions.

The incident has reignited discussions about the relationship between traditional authorities and national leadership, prompting calls for greater sensitivity to local customs.
