What appears to be a lovely joke between two brothers has turned into an unhealthy exchange between supporters as NDC Supporters bare their teeth at Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia following a joke he made about Former President Mahama.
At the National Chief Imam’s Maulid yesterday, Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia jokingly referred to his senior brother, former president John Dramani Mahama as Mallam John.
This was after the former President in his speech had demonstrated fair knowledge of some Islamic Hadiths.
Dr. Bawumia, while taking his turn at the podium, jokingly said in Hausa that Mr. Mahama should convert to Islam since he has demonstrated such knowledge about the Hadiths.
The Vice President then referred to Mr. Mahama as Mallam John amid laughter, which eventually infected a cross-section of the persons present including the Chief Imam himself, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharabutu.
Though this was clearly a joke between two brothers, some NDC Supporters have expressed disgust at the Vice President for his actions.
According to them, Dr. Bawumia crossed the line by disrespecting the former president in the presence of the Chief Imam.
