Amoakohene Sparks Social Media Storm With “A Few Moments Later” Video Of Bawumia On The Pwalugu Dam

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has set off wide discussion online after sharing a video of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on his official Facebook page today, October 20, 2026.

The post carries the caption “A few moments later,” a popular format among Ghanaian social media users. It places two statements by the same person side by side, so viewers can see how they relate to each other.

The first clip is from a radio interview Dr. Bawumia gave on Asempa 94.7 FM while he was Vice President. In it, he describes the Pwalugu Dam as a flagship project of the NPP and presents it as an achievement the party could point to.

The second clip is more recent. Here, Dr. Bawumia says an NPP government would give attention to the dam and build it, and he uses this as part of his campaign message.

By putting the two clips together, Dr. Amoakohene suggests the flagbearer first claimed the project as a success while in office and now promises to build it. Together, the clips raise the question of what the project’s status really is.

The post has drawn many comments, most of them humorous. Many users enjoyed the “a few moments later” style and joined in with similar jokes. Others praised the timing and quality of the video, with some saying it looked so polished they first thought it was artificially generated.

Some commenters responding to the post on October 20, 2026, took the matter more seriously. They asked whether the NPP was saying the dam had been completed during its time in government, and some tagged friends from the northern part of the country, where the project is located, to get their views. Others described the post as a sharp political reply, while a few simply shared in the laughter.

The Pwalugu Dam is in the northern part of the country, and many residents there see it as important to farming and development. Because of this, statements about its progress get close attention from both supporters and critics.
