A tense moment unfolded during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s final State of the Nation Address on January 3, 2025, when his Aide-de-Camp (ADC) suddenly collapsed in Parliament, halting proceedings.
The incident, captured live on national television, sent shockwaves through the chamber as medical personnel rushed to the scene to provide emergency care. President Akufo-Addo, visibly shaken, paused his speech to ensure his aide received immediate attention.
The ADC was quickly escorted out of the chamber for further treatment, but the unsettling episode left members of Parliament and viewers deeply concerned.
Although details about the aide’s condition remain scarce, initial reports suggest he was stabilized before being transported for additional medical care.
President Akufo-Addo later resumed his address, commending the swift response of the medical team and expressing hope for his aide’s recovery. The dramatic turn of events added an unexpected layer of emotion to what was meant to be a historic farewell address by the President.
