Earlier today, several online portals including gossips24.com reported that the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been rushed to the hospital.
These reports were made after a video of the president and his entourage were seen entering Accra based Nyaho Clinic on a tough speed.
Well, after the news broke, the head of communications at the presidency Eugene Arhin in a post in his Facebook wall debunked the claim.
According to Eugene Arhin the President went to the Nyaho Clinic to visit Mr Tommy Amematekpor, a stalwart of the NPP, who is on admission at the Clinic.
“This video is making the rounds on some social media platforms, and, unsurprisingly, some of our friends from the opposition, are claiming, with glee, that the President was rushed to the Nyaho Clinic. For the avoidance of doubt, no such thing happened.”
