Ghanaian gospel musician Kwadwo Ampong, also known as Great Ampong, has expressed his willingness to personally apologize to former President John Dramani Mahama, even if it means kneeling before him. In a recent interview on Oyerepa TV, the well-known gospel artist shared that although he has already released a song titled “Apology” to show his remorse, he is open to taking further steps to seek forgiveness if given the chance.
“I know President John Dramani Mahama will hear my apology song, but if the opportunity arises to approach him and ask for forgiveness, I would gladly do so,” he stated.
However, Ampong acknowledged the challenge of directly approaching the President without proper arrangements. “To meet him at the Jubilee House, you would need someone to guide you, or else rushing there would not be wise,” he explained.
Ampong also referenced dancehall artist Shatta Wale, who publicly apologized to Mahama before the 2024 elections. He said that if Shatta Wale could do it, he would not hesitate to follow his lead.
“If the Lord permits and there’s a chance, I wouldn’t hesitate to apologize to John Dramani Mahama one-on-one, just as Shatta Wale did. Even if it means kneeling down, I would do it because I wouldn’t be the first person to ask him for forgiveness,” Ampong added.
The reason for his apology is believed to stem from his criticism of John Dramani Mahama before the 2016 elections. Some believe it’s a calculated move to get closer to Mahama now that he is no longer president. Many have also questioned Ampong’s absence during the 2024 campaign, a time when Shatta Wale made his public apology.
