Ghanaian Member of Parliament, Isaac Adongo, on Tuesday November 21, apologized to Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire, for comparing him with the country’s vice-president, Mahamudu Bawumia, describing them as poor performers.
Adongo had likened Ghana’s VP to Maguire’s below par performance where he scored several own goals.
Like Maguire’s performance which cost Manchester United on several EPL matches, the Ghanaian legislator blamed the country’s second in command for economic downturn.
Adongo had, in 2022, criticised the VP for the country’s poor economic performance.
However during a budget debate in the parliament house, Adongo said Maguire had now become a “transformational footballer,” while adding that the VP now “roams at the IMF with a cup in hand.”
Adongo said, “Mr. Speaker, I now apologise to Harry Maguire. Today, Harry Maguire has turned the corner and he is a transformational footballer.
“[Harry Maguire] is now a key player for Manchester but as for our Maguire [Mr Bawumia] he is now roaming at the IMF with a cup in hand,” the MP added.
He criticised Bawumia’s performance as vice-president and head of Ghana’s Economic Management Team, which he said had driven the country more into debt and risked its economic performance.
