Netizens react to the video of the presidential motorcade

Kobby Cypher218 said:

The story has always been the same for every president in this country.

Victor Oppong Jnr commented:

How many MPs and Ministers escort him? Are their cars his car? Common sense is common but not common to common people

Nana Asare remarked:

In my humble opinion, those defending this act of the president are being mischievous . He’s just going on a radio tour. At most, three or four cars are ok

ANDOH E ( LORD G) added:

It is called 'keep the president alive'. He is the first gentleman on the land, so he deserves it ‍♀️
