Akufo-Addo’s aide-de-camp recovers after collapsing during State of the Nation Address
Colonel Isaac Amponsah, the Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to President Akufo-Addo, has fully recovered after collapsing during the President’s final State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Friday.
Col. Amponsah collapsed midway through the address but received immediate medical attention on-site before being transported to the 37 Military Hospital for further evaluation.
A source at the Jubilee House has confirmed that he has been discharged and is resting at home.
Although the exact cause of the collapse has not been officially confirmed, medical professionals have suggested it was likely due to stress and prolonged standing.
Col. Amponsah has served as President Akufo-Addo’s ADC since the promotion of his predecessor, Bismark Onwona, to Major General.
Before assuming this role, he worked as an instructor at the Military Training Academy and with the Defence Intelligence Unit of the Ghana Armed Forces.
