North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is trending at number one on X for Thursday, August 29, 2024.
Other topics making the trends are Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, #24hrscam, Sheldon, John Dumelo, Bawumia, Rasta, Black Sheriff, and the Asantehene.
Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending
Ablakwa
A heated moment between Ablakwa and Kojo Oppong Nkrumah during a committee sitting of the Assurance Committee on August 28, 2024.
Tensions almost escalated, causing the sitting to be suspended. He is trending along with Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
#24hrscam
Netizens are calling the 24-hour economy policy a scam, using the hashtag #24hrscam.
John Dumelo
Netizens are bashing and criticizing the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso West Wuogon over his comments in which he called Lydia Seyram Alhassan a ‘bloody widow’. He has since apologized and retracted his statement.
Rasta
The name ‘rasta’ is trending following Tyrone Marhguy’s impressive educational achievement, which has earned him a fully funded scholarship to study computer engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
Marhguy was previously at the center of a controversy when he legally battled Achimota SHS over his Rastafarian dreadlocks.
Black Sheriff
Black Sheriff is in the trends following his feature with Arathemy on a newly released music called Jesus Christ.
Here are some tweets under the trending topics:
Okudzeto said nothing wrong and man is just passionate to get what his people deserve soonest. All I see is the hate for Ablakwa because he exposes them and performs far beyond the expectations of being an MP.

Keep up the good work Hon. Ghana shall reward you in due time. https://t.co/2f1kyYMiJ4
It's Ablakwa's word against KON's word. Did y'all expect KON to shut up and make it seem what Ablakwa said is true? You call someone insincere and you think he'll just watch you cos you're the Chairman of the committee? Deal with the issue and not attack the person. It's simple

Oppong Nkrumah was nowhere near the issue about the withdrawal of the soldiers, but he is speaking as if he was on the ground. Must you defend every nonsense, or do you think the soldiers are dumb to have lied to Ablakwa.

Big fan of Ablakwa here but he really let his emotions get the better of him at the PAC sitting. Don’t be like that idolo

John Dumelo is as empty as John Mahama. He should not forget that the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency is dominated by intellectuals and people who vote based on Good policies and track records. The shouting and empty threats wont help. #24HrScam

Politics should not lead you to this low
This is very unfortunate and I hope you reflect, retract and apologize

This same person said he is going to fight Galamsey, and even made mention of Akunta Mines, but this same man is saying he is going to give amnesty to culprit of Galamsey. Mahama

Please Ghanaians are still waiting for Mahama to come and explain the 24hr Economy to our understanding. Because his policies have no hope for Ghanaians
