Prince David Osei deletes tweet calling John Mahama a drunkard
Actor Prince David Osei has swiftly deleted a controversial post in which he referred to John Dramani Mahama, the president-elect for the 9th Parliament, as a "drunkard." The post, which was shared earlier on Twitter, sparked a wave of outrage and debate, particularly due to its offensive nature. Prince David Osei, a well-known supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), made the comment during a heated online exchange, which quickly escalated into a public controversy.
In the now-deleted tweet, Osei called Mahama a "drunkard," a remark that many found distasteful and inflammatory. The actor’s words appeared to be a part of a larger disagreement on social media, but the tone and language used were widely criticized for being disrespectful. Osei’s comment did not sit well with many users, including those who viewed it as an unnecessary personal attack on the former president.
After the backlash, Prince David Osei quickly deleted the tweet and made no further comments on the matter. His decision to retract the post suggests a recognition of the negative reaction it provoked, especially considering the sensitivities surrounding political discourse in Ghana. The actor, known for his vocal support of the NPP, has often engaged in political debates on social media, but this particular incident has drawn heightened attention due to the harshness of his language.
The controversy has sparked wider discussions on social media about the need for more respectful dialogue, especially in the political sphere. Critics have argued that such derogatory comments only contribute to the division and hostility that often accompany political debates. Others, however, defended Osei, stating that his words, while harsh, were a reflection of the frustrations felt by some supporters of the NPP towards Mahama’s political comeback.
As of now, Prince David Osei has not made any public statements regarding the deletion of the post, and it remains unclear whether he will address the incident further. This episode adds to the ongoing political tensions in the country, with figures from both major political parties often clashing online, and reflects the increasingly volatile nature of political discussions in Ghana's public sphere.
