Colonel Festus Aboagye (rtd), a security analyst, has condemned the government of Ghana for allowing Meek Mill, an American rapper, to shoot a music video in the Jubilee house.
The level of access given to the rapper, according to the former ADC to the late President, Jerry John Rawlings was the worst kind of security breach and also devalued the office of the presidency.
In the viral music video, Meek Mill and his crew were seen standing behind the podium used only by the president when addressing the nation.
The American rapper and his crew could be seen dancing and rapping to explicit lyrics which has been condemned by many Ghanaians.
In the quest of expressing their anger and displeasure, Ghanaians took it to social media making it the most trending and most talked about topic since Sunday, 8thJanuary, 2023.
In an interview on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, Col. Aboagye urged Jubilee House security officials to take their jobs seriously, adding that not everyone should be allowed to visit the presidency.
“We have cheapened our politics to the extent that anybody who is a nobody comes to Ghana and they want to call on the President.
“It does appear that they were given free access to different parts of that establishment in order to shoot their video, which is probably the worst part of any security breach. The assumption that these are innocent artists coming to visit the President, is where the security breach starts from because the cameras could have all manner of chips embedded in them,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sack persons who allowed the rapper to “desecrate” the Jubilee House with his “explicit lyrics”.
