It has been revealed that as part of President Akufo-Addo’s convoy is a Toyota V8 vehicle which he uses to carry his presidential chair wherever he goes.
This was a revelation made by Gordon Edudzi Tameklo, a member of the NDC’s communications team.
He claimed that the president is squandering resources on costly trips around the world at a time when Ghanaian workers face insurmountable hardships.
“The most ridiculous thing I found out later is that right now, in the President’s convoy, he has a separate Tundra or V8 that carries his chair,” he said on 3FM’s Sunrise show with host Alfred Ocansey on Thursday, January 6.
“When Justice Marfo Sau died, I went to the funeral service at the State House, I was shocked, I wanted to be sure, and so I saw it myself,” he explained.
“The president was in Tamale a few weeks ago for the 70th anniversary of Tamale Secondary School, the same Tundra that carried the chair from Tamale to Accra.” When you do this, it becomes difficult to rally citizens around a burden-sharing conversation.”
He spoke at length in the video below:
Ghana's economy: The most ridiculous thing I even found out later is that as we speak today; in the President's convoy he has a separate Tundra or V8 that carries his chair.
