Ghanaian MP Adongo Apologizes to Harry Maguire for Comparing Him to Vice President Bawumia

Isaac Adongo, the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, has said sorry to Manchester United’s Harry Maguire for comparing him to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia based on their performance. Adongo’s original comparison gained attention worldwide, where he mocked Maguire’s playing and linked it to Dr. Bawumia’s economic management.

Now, a year later, Adongo has apologized for his comments, recognizing Maguire’s improvement as a key player for Manchester United while still criticizing Dr. Bawumia’s economic policies.

Speaking in Parliament recently, Adongo acknowledged Maguire’s better performance, saying, “Today, Maguire has turned; he is a transformational footballer. Harry Maguire is now scoring goals for Manchester United. Harry Maguire is now a key player for Manchester.”

However, Adongo continued to criticize Dr. Bawumia’s economic management, likening him to someone seeking financial help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

“As for our Maguire [Dr. Bawumia], he is now roaming at the IMF with a cup in hand,” Adongo commented. “As for our economic Maguire, he was able to get our pensioners to leave their homes and come and parade in the streets.”

Adongo’s apology to Maguire highlights how people’s opinions can change and the importance of acknowledging that change. Even though Adongo was critical initially, his willingness to recognize Maguire’s progress shows a level of fairness and open-mindedness.

Additionally, Adongo’s continued criticism of Dr. Bawumia’s economic policies brings attention to the ongoing debate about Ghana’s economic direction and the government’s role in addressing economic challenges.

This incident reminds everyone, including public figures, to be careful with their words and actions as they can have significant consequences. It also emphasizes the importance of acknowledging personal and others’ growth and change over time.
