Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampam Constituency,
Sam Dzata George has threatened to protest Ghanaian Comedian OB Amponsah on
stage if ‘misbehave’.
His threating comes after OB Amponsah made a comic
statement on corruption against Former President John Dramani Mahama.
This statement has caused a lot of attentions where some
entertainment pundits had even felt disappointment in the comedian for apologizing
to the Former President because they believe it’s just a comedy and not that something
serious people should talk about.
Meanwhile, others said the comedian did the right thing.
Though the comedian has rendered an apology to the NDC Flagbearer, the MP for Ningo-Prampam Sam Dzata George says he will stage a massive protest if OB misbehaves.
Read below the statement of Hon, Sam George on Facebook:
I have just had a chat with Management of Charterhouse
Ghana over the appearance of OB Amponsah this evening at Night of 1026 laughs.
I expressed my discomfort and strong displeasure at his
tribal and partisan diatribes against the person of the former President. He is
entitled to hold his personal views no matter how twisted they are but cannot
use a paid for platform to disseminate same.
I have the assurances of the organizers that they have
since my conversation with them had a talk with him that their platform
would NOT be used to peddle such material. I have the assurances that Charter
House remains a Ghanaian business entity that is apolitical.
Ghanaian acts can poke fun at all persons in the public space,
but it must be done without malice and must be backed by facts. Comedy cannot
be used to denigrate or peddle falsehood about the character or person of
public figures.
I would attend tonight’s programme to have a good laugh
but would stage a massive protest if OB ‘misbehaves’.🦁
