Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has responded sharply to highlife legend Ofori Amponsah’s recent endorsement of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Amponsah, while attending a ‘Boys Boys’ event in Accra organized by Sammi Awuku, had urged the youth to overwhelmingly vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer in the upcoming elections.

During the event, Amponsah, best known for his hit song “Emmanuela,” praised Bawumia, calling him a beacon of hope for the future. He highlighted that the youth would be missing out if they failed to elect him as Ghana’s next president. “Vote for Dr. Bawumia. If you don’t make him Ghana’s next President, you’ll be missing out on a lot. He represents the future,” Amponsah declared with confidence.

The veteran singer’s public endorsement of the vice president stirred conversation, especially as Amponsah projected optimism regarding Bawumia’s chances in the 2024 general elections. “It is possible that; Dr. Bawumia will win,” he added, encouraging his followers to support the NPP flagbearer.

However, Bridget Otoo, known for her candid views on political matters, did not share the same enthusiasm. In response to Amponsah’s comments, Otoo took to social media to express her disapproval. On Pulse Ghana’s X page, she remarked, “The only hit lyrics left is in Bawumia’s pocket. Don’t take him seriously,” making it clear she wasn’t buying into the endorsement.

Otoo’s reaction has sparked a wave of mixed opinions on social media, as many have debated the merits of celebrity endorsements in politics. While some appreciate Otoo’s bold stance, others have defended Amponsah’s right to voice his political preferences.

Meanwhile, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia continues to advance his campaign across the Greater Accra Region, building momentum ahead of the 2024 general elections. Recently, in an unexpected move, Bawumia hopped into a trotro, a popular mode of transport in Ghana, engaging passengers and discussing his ‘bold solutions’ agenda for the country.

As the political atmosphere heats up, the clash between Otoo and Amponsah underscores the diverse opinions shaping Ghana’s upcoming elections.
