Controversial radio presenter Blakk Rasta has described President Akufo Addo as an old man in a recent interview.
Born Abubakar Ahmed, Blakk Rasta who also doubles as a musician said that because Akufo Addo is old, he will continue to fall sleep at public meetings.
“In Africa, we believe that old men have wise counsel. But if you elect some as President at the age of 75, his Senior Minister is 77 years. And they are the ones running left, right, centre, trying to fix the economy…they will end up sleeping.
They will sleep because old men, old women, in fact, they easily get tired and they will fall asleep. If it is a young man who falls asleep, people will ask whether or not he is sick. But if an old man is asleep, you tell people not to disturb him; the old man is asleep,” he explained.
President Akufo-Addo has been seen in several viral videos seeming asleep at public events. The most recent one is a video of him at Prempeh College’s 70th anniversary celebration apparently taking a snooze as a speech was being delivered.
