This development subsequently sparked widespread debates on social media about the President\u2019s popularity and how he is losing his appeal as head of state.<\/p>\n<p>But the former NPP New Juaben North Chairman said he is surprised at the level of attention the media has given to the issue.<\/p>\n<p>In his view, what happened to President Akufo-Addo is nothing new since many Presidents have through events experienced worse public embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>He cited how former US President, George Bush Jnr. had a shoe thrown at him by an aggrieved citizen to buttress his point.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Boateng Agyemang urged the NPP to focus on important things and support President Akufo-Addo to deliver his promises to the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the party should waste their energy and time on these things.
