During the 2016 election campaign, Mzbel — real name — Nana Akua Amoah — did not only endorsed President Mahama and the NDC but she also went further to denigrate, mock and insult the NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo. In a cringe-worthy viral video, the “16 years” songstress mocked Nana for falling down while kneeling to pray. She also said Ghanaians should not vote for the 72-year-old because he is not a “presidential material”.
Now that Nana Addo has won somewhat a near-landslide victory, we expected loud mouth Mzbel to eat humble pie, and congratulate the incoming president just as her fellow NDC activist, John Dumelo has done. But no, she is on Instagram making “noise” — continuing her usual sycophantic praises of a mess of a president called John Mahama, while throwing some subtle shade at Nana Addo.
Her exact words below:
Yesterday, the world witnessed the actions of a great leader for his show of respect for Ghanaians the rule of law and our constitution. I wish to congratulate my father, mentor and hero, H.E John Dramani Mahama for his enormous courage to peacefully concede defeat in the elections. My respect for this legend has bloated and I am proud to have been part of his campaign. In my opinion, He is still the best man to move Ghana forward and His deeds during office is a strong proof of this. This is the man whose family accepted and treated me as part of them regardless of my flaws. This is the man who treated people with fairness and an open mind. I will relentlessly give my support to him any day because I still truly believe in Him. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own. I doff my hat to you Sir! ?
