Below are some reactions to the viral video on social media

The indignant gestures are well placed if someone refused to stand for the national anthem, that said he should show similar zeal in dealing with the issues plaguing our country and his government. https://t.co/mlMbDMBXca

Nana Addo was only angry the said chief sat whilst he was standing. Nana Addo doesn’t give a damn about the national anthem.

No Chief or King is bigger than our national anthem.

If it is the case that the President of Ghana 🇬🇭 got upset and issued directives to the G/A Minister because someone deliberately refused to stand up when the National Anthem was being played, then I salute him for defending the Flag and Anthem of our Motherland. Bravo🇬🇭💪🏃‍♂️❤️ pic.twitter.com/od2nDVsba1
