Nana Addo has failed to show exemplary leadership – Joy FM’s Kwertey Nartey

“Like the World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently advised, I want to encourage you to wear a mask wherever you go, as it will help you not to contract the virus, and keep it clean. If you own a business or are providing a service, i.e. a barber, a hairdresser, a tailor, a taxi driver, a trotro driver and his ‘mate’, a shop keeper, a food seller, please do well to use a mask. The Ministry of Health will very soon issue guidelines on face masks for public use” President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo said in his 7th address to the nation.

Joy FM’s broadcast journalist, Kwertey Nartey believes the president is living a direct opposite of his speeches and what he says.

He took to his Facebook page to question the rationale behind the president’s failure to wear face mask ever since he encouraged Ghanaians to wear same.

“The President last week encouraged us to wear face masks as a way of limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus. I have witnessed at least three engagements President Akufo Addo have had with stakeholder groups at the Jubilee House, in all of these, he was ‘maskless’ while those who were invited wore their face masks. Shouldn’t leadership be by example or this approach is also informed by social science?” he wrote.
