Netizens have reacted to Ghanaian actor and staunch NPP supporter Prince David Osei over his social media comment referring to President-Elect John Dramani Mahama as a “drunkard.”
His statement, seemingly in response to the declaration of Mahama as the winner of the 2024 Presidential elections, has been widely criticised as offensive and unbecoming of a public figure.
In a now-viral tweet, Prince David Osei wrote: “Even drunkard you voted for kwasia boy!! Learn sense wai Gyimi.”
Many Ghanaians have condemned this remark as highly disrespectful, particularly given the nation’s emphasis on maintaining decorum in political discourse.
Critics argue that such statements are not only inappropriate but also fuel unnecessary hostility in an already polarised political environment.
Social media users have expressed disapproval, labelling the actor’s comment as “insensitive” and “unpatriotic.”
A Twitter user remarked: “We can disagree politically, but referring to a President as a drunkard is completely out of line. Public figures should do better.”
Another user added: “This is below the belt. Prince David Osei should be held accountable for his words. Such comments don’t foster unity.”
Meanwhile, Prince David Osei is yet to respond to the criticisms.
