New Patriotic Party(NPP) communicator, Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah, has apologised to Ghanaians over his bold declaration to set himself ablaze if John Dramani Mahama wins the 2024 election.
In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Tuesday, Mr Gyewu-Appiah stated he did not think any Ghanaian would take the statement seriously, hence the apology.
“I’m sorry if Ghanaians thought I would set myself on fire. It was just a political talk and I didn’t think anyone would take it seriously,” he said.
The NPP communicator a few weeks before the 2024 election expressed confidence about its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s landslide victory.
He stated the work done by the NPP would pay off as a reward for the Vice President and cast doubts on the chances of President-elect John Mahama, vowing to set himself on fire.
Following Mahama’s decisive victory with 6,328,397 votes, constituting 56.55%, many have questioned if he will put his words into action.
But Mr Gyewu-Appiah expressed regret over his actions, explaining he made the declaration after Dr. Bawumia’s victory was undermined.
“I know the work we had done and just couldn’t listen to someone downplay our chances in the election. I just needed to say something to motivate the rank and file of the party,” he added.
