In a startling incident that unfolded in Ghana’s Parliament on Friday, January 3, President Akufo-Addo’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC) collapsed while on duty, momentarily interrupting the President’s address. The collapse occurred as the President was outlining his administration’s policies and achievements over the past year.
Video footage circulating online captures the ADC showing signs of distress before he stumbled and fell to the floor, prompting immediate concern among the assembled members of parliament. Fellow officials quickly rushed to his aid, helping him out of the chamber amidst the palpable worry in the room.
The cause of the ADC’s collapse is currently unknown, and updates on his condition are eagerly awaited by the public and officials alike. The incident underscores the often-overlooked stresses faced by individuals in high-pressure roles within the government.
