Actor Prince David Osei has come under intense criticism from National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters following remarks deemed disrespectful to President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
Prince David is notable for sending unwarranted subliminal shots to Mahama due to his affiliation to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the reason his supporters have rallied to end that canker.
His latest verbal attack came shortly after Mahama was officially declared winner of the 2024 presidential election.
In a post initially meant to congratulate Mahama, Prince wrote, “Congratulations to the President-elect of the Republic of Ghana. I will be president one day very soon, so showing honour to whom honour is due. Don’t get it twisted at all, guys. I am different, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of here.”
However, the congratulatory tone took a turn when a netizen reminded him of his critical remarks about Mahama in the past.
The actor responded by labeling the netizen a “fool,” further stating questioning why he cannot aspire to be president if even a “drunkard” has been voted for.
This statement has infuriated many Ghanaians, who view it as a direct insult to the newly elected president.
NDC supporters, in particular, have expressed their anger on social media, calling out the actor for what they see as unprovoked attacks on their leader.
Amid the backlash, Prince David Osei has locked his social media accounts and the said post has since been deleted.
