Actor Prince David Osei has apologised to supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following criticism over remarks he made about President-elect John Dramani Mahama.

On December 10, 2024, he shared a post on Instagram expressing regret for his comments and emphasised the importance of unity and peace among Ghanaians.

“I deeply apologise if my words during the campaign offended anyone from the NDC. We were all focused on winning, but now let’s move forward and live in peace. God bless Ghana,” he wrote.

What happened?

It could be recalled that following Mahama’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Osei, in a now-deleted post intended to congratulate the president-elect, stated that he himself would be president one day.

This post, however, was met with insults from some users who lambasted him for his comment.

An infuriated Osei, in response to one comment, labelled the commenter "fool" and questioned why he couldn’t aspire to be president, suggesting even a “drunkard” had been elected.

The remarks were widely interpreted as an insult to Mahama, fuelling anger among Ghanaians, particularly NDC supporters.
