President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former trade and industry minister, Alan Kyerematen reportedly snubbed each other during the one-week celebration of the late Theresa Kufour.
The president and the 2024 independent presidential hopeful for the newly formed Movement for Change, failed to acknowledge the presence of each other at the ceremony which took place at the Peduase Lodge in the Eastern region, on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
The moment was observed by Angel TV journalist, Nana Yaa Brefo who after speaking to the failed NPP presidential candidate said “President Akufo-Addo and Alan Kyeremanten are both leaving Theresa Kufuor’s one-week observation ceremony without exchanging pleasantries.”
Although the reason for the unexpected gestures of these prominent political figures remains unknown, some observers have attributed the snub to the recent decision of Kyerematen to break away from the NPP and form his Movement for Change ahead of the 2024 elections.
Interestingly, there was a beautiful moment when vice president, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and Mr. Kyerematen hugged and exchanged pleasantries.
Accompanied by his wife Samira Bawumia, the vice president beaming with smiles shook hands with Alan before both patted each other on the back.
The statesmen were part of sympathisers who gathered at the Peduase residence of the ex-president to mourn the death of the late first lady.
