“Dumsor is killing us, hmmmm
Once I rise to power, I’ll choose a life of discipline—even if it means becoming a vegetarian. Said the Lion who wants power”, one X user added.
One X user added, “For God’s sake, we have an energy crisis, economic hardship, a high unemployment rate, and nurses and teachers haven’t been paid. Instead of demanding development, we are rather impressed by the president buying corn by the road. Are we serious at all in this country?”
“Leadership is being relatable. President Mahama buying roadside corn sends a strong message: “I’m one of you.”
In a time of economic hardship, these small moments matter”, a netizen added.
“This woman had one thing to do, she could have told JDM she has a sibling at home, which needs work, make JDM link her keke, she could have changed her family’s destiny, but decided to only sell corn, opportunity comes but once”, one X user stated.
