Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George, has noted that not all of God’s creations were wonderfully made, others were fearfully made.
A lively exchange took place on TV3’s New Day show between Sam George and Stephen Amoah, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry and MP for Nhyiaeso, over Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s ‘driver’s mate’ analogy.
Vice President Bawumia, during his address at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, likened his current role as Vice-President to that of a driver’s mate, highlighting a transformative vision if he assumes the presidency.
Sam George took issue with this comparison, referring to Dr. Bawumia as “Aplanke,” a Ga term for a bus conductor, during the New Day show.
Stephen Amoah objected to the use of the term, deeming it inappropriate. Sam George defended his use of “Aplanke,” stating that it was not abusive.
When asked if his remarks about knocking Mr. Amoah were in jest, Sam George likened it to disciplining a misbehaving child, lightly tapping the back of Mr. Amoah’s head.
In response, Stephen Amoah jokingly remarked about the touching, stating that it was unauthorized and emphasizing the sanctity of the head, adding that he would consult his lawyers regarding the incident.
Sam George replied, saying he was wonderfully made by God, while Stephen Amoah was fearfully made.
“Some are wonderfully made, some are fearfully made. You are fearfully made, I am wonderfully made,” he said.
