A presidential aspirant from Nzima Mensah Hall at Takoradi Technical University (TTU) has garnered attention by distributing branded porridge, known locally as \u2018koko,\u2019 to the hall\u2019s residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aspirant, seeking to make a memorable impression, ensured the porridge packages were marked with stickers featuring his campaign logo.<\/p>\n

In a video circulating on social media, a student is seen shaking a porridge packet tied in plastic, clearly displaying the campaign sticker. Each porridge serving came with a side of rosebread, making for a complete breakfast offering.<\/p>\n

Social Media Reactions<\/h2>\n

The move has sparked diverse reactions on social media. Some see it as an innovative campaign strategy, while others criticise it as an early sign of vote-buying.<\/p>\n

Some users are wary of the gesture, viewing it as a precursor to vote-buying practices that could extend into national elections. They argue that such tactics set a precedent for unethical behaviour in politics. Others respond with light-hearted comments, showing a mix of amusement and resignation.<\/p>\n

While some students appreciate the free breakfast and the candidate\u2019s efforts to engage with them personally, others are wary of the implications<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how they start with vote buying, and when they go into active politics they feel entitled to steal state funds to make up for the money they think they lost campaigning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is clearly the foundation of vote buying which they later import into national elections.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
