The latest personality to have mimicked the president’s public action is the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu. A viral video cited by GhanaWeb has shown the moment the National Chief Imam was arriving for the commissioning of a mosque by President John Dramani Mahama at Akweteyman in Accra. In the video, a military officer is seen prompting the Chief Imam’s entourage to stand in attention because the national anthem was being played. “They are playing the national anthem, so they should wait,” the officer is captured saying as he made gestures for them to stop. After the anthem ended, the crowd broke into cheers for the Chief Imam.
