A heartwarming scene unfolded in Ghana’s political circles when Hon. Sam Nartey George, the MP for Ningo-Prampram and Minister for Communications, playfully teased Minority MPs during a lively exchange following the State of the Nation Address (SONA) by President Mahama. The light moment came as former President John Agyekum Kufuor, now in a wheelchair, greeted parliamentarians.

In a widely circulated video, Kufuor is seen warmly acknowledging greetings from lawmakers, including members of the Minority caucus. Sam George, with his signature wit, commented, “Minority Nketenkete, mo sisi feaa!”—meaning “Minority, you’re looking elegant!” The former president was visibly amused, nodding and smiling in response to the jovial jab.
