Stephen Amoah has accused former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of mocking him during the heat of the campaign, claiming he was compared to a “rabbit” in a local language — a remark he says deeply hurt and humiliated him.
Speaking emotionally about the incident, Amoah said the comment was made in a way that portrayed him as weak and timid, undermining his credibility and dignity in front of party supporters. He described the comparison as unnecessary and divisive, especially at a time when unity was needed within the campaign.
According to Amoah, the remark has lingered long after the campaign, affecting his personal confidence and political standing. He questioned why a senior figure like Dr. Bawumia would resort to such language, arguing that political competition should be based on ideas and performance, not ridicule.
The allegation has stirred reactions within political circles, with some sympathising with Amoah and others dismissing the claim as part of the rough-and-tumble of Ghanaian politics. Calls are already growing for Dr. Bawumia to clarify the comment and, if necessary, offer an apology.
As tensions simmer, the episode has reopened debate about political discourse in Ghana, with critics urging leaders to watch their words and avoid language that could inflame emotions or fracture party cohesion.
