"He (Nana Akufo-Addo) was an ordinary citizen, candidate of a political party. Our documentary actually indicated that this person had been fired. The unfortunate impression that the President was treating them while she condemned these acts was not based on our documentary and it is important to point out that such impressions or such inconveniences caused the President is regretted.
