Ghanaian MP extends regrets to football player Harry Maguire

A politician from Ghana said sorry to English soccer player Harry Maguire for saying he was not good at his job. The politician had compared Maguire to the vice president of Ghana.

Last year, the MP said that Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia did a bad job with Ghana’s economy and compared him to a soccer player who scores goals for the other team.

But Isaac Adongo, a member of parliament, said on Tuesday that the Manchester United defender’s luck had improved.

“Sorry, Harry Maguire. I apologize” Today, Harry Maguire has improved a lot and become a really good football player,” he said in parliament while talking about money.

He complained about Mr. Bawumia’s work as vice-president and head of Ghana’s Economic Management Team. He said it has made the country owe more money and could harm its economy.

Harry Maguire is an important player for Manchester, but our Maguire, Mr. Bawumia, is now working at the IMF with a cup in hand,” he said.

Ghana is facing its worst economic crisis in a long time.

“Inflation went up to 54% last year, and is still at more than 35% now. “
