Isaac Adade Opeele Boateng (Coach Opeele), a former coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, has drawn criticism from social media users after he credited Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia with the construction of the Tamale Interchange.<\/p>\n
On Monday, April 29, 2024, Coach Opeele posted footage of the interchange, commending the New Patriotic Party\u2019s flagbearer for spearheading the project.<\/p>\n
His post incited a wave of criticism from Ghanaians who labelled him inconsistent and hypocritical.<\/p>\n
The social media users questioned why Coach Opeele, who usually resists attributing the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government\u2019s economic woes to the vice president, would now assign him the accolade for a government achievement.<\/p>\n
A tweet highlighted by GhanaWeb read, \u201cSo Bawumia was permitted to construct flyovers but not given the chance to lead as the head of EMT? We learn every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another user remarked, \u201cBawumia was allowed to build a road but couldn\u2019t stop the E-Levy from being enacted and enforced. I thought it was the president who built roads.\u201d<\/p>\n
