Social media users have slammed Ghanaian legal practicioner and media personality, Maurice Ampaw, after announcing that he is no longer going to relocate to Togo as he had promised to if ex-President, John Dramani Mahama, won the 2024 elections.
According to netizens, Ampaw has displayed a lack of integrity and shame by refusing to honor his promise.
In the lead up to the 2024 elections, Ampaw, who was a presenter on Wontumi TV – owned by the NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi – loudly proclaimed that if Mahama won the election, he would relocate from Ghana to Togo.
According to him, there is no universe in which ex-President Mahama would win the elections ahead of Bawumia. He added that in the unlikely event that Mahama is able to pull off a victory, he would not stay in Ghana.
Unfortunately for Ampaw, Mahama won the elections in a comfortable fashion, dispatching Vice President and NPP’s Presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Following the elections, Ampaw has now spoken out about his promise. According to him, he was simply playing a political game and there’s no way he would leave Ghana to stay in a less developed country like Togo.
“I won’t go to Togo. Ghana is far better than Togo. I don’t even have a passport, I’ve never traveled before,” Ampaw said in an interview.
