Media personality Bridget Otoo has slammed Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea, for allegedly describing the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, as a drunkard.

Atta Akyea, while campaigning for Dr. Bawumia in his constituency, took a swipe at former President John Mahama by saying that the current flagbearer of the NPP does not drink alcohol.

He said, “Ghana is fortunate to have an economist who is composed, knowledgeable, and abstains from alcohol. We are truly blessed. Ghana is on the verge of having a president with wisdom, a leader who is astute and refrains from drinking alcohol.”

Reacting to the comments of Atta Akyea, Bridget Otoo took to her X page to slam the MP. According to Bridget, Bawumia, who is not a drunkard, messed up the economy compared to John Mahama, whom Atta Akyea described as a drunkard.

In her words: “You mean to tell me @MBawumia put us in this hardship while sober? Then I’m sorry, you need to advise him to start drinking or better still, people who drink alcohol are better managers of the economy.”
