What Mahama said and why he is topping X trends for September 16

Several topics are trending on X on Monday, September 16, 2024, including Asantes, Hajia Bintu, Mahama, and Hearts of Oak.

Here’s a breakdown of why these topics are trending:

Asantes

Netizens are criticizing the NDC Eastern Regional Communication Officer, Kojo Danquah, for claiming Akans, especially the Asantes, are the cause of Ghana's problems, while speaking at a campaign event.

Mahama

The NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has criticized the NPP government for economic mismanagement.

He has also said that the NPP, which was known for its positive performance under President Kufuor, has drastically changed for the worse and has become an unrecognizable party.

Hearts of Oak

Supporters of the Ghanaian football club are calling for the coach to be ousted following the team's poor performance in their last two matches in the Ghana Premier League.

The football giants currently sit at the bottom of the league table after losing those two games.

Kuffour is the reason Kuffo Doo is brazen.

Facts. Unfortunately, the NPP is now a conglomerate of a majority of highly-educated thieves who prioritize self gain over everything else. https://t.co/nwbTSZkE53

The same party Kuffour led that you and the NDC lied against to win power and take us to Dumsor? Yes it's not like that because we won't allow the NDC to use propaganda again to win power.

Same President Kuffour that Mahama and his NDC denigrated and called him Ataa Ayi, Kuffour Waa Waa, Gizel Yazi etc?

Mahama even encouraged some Ga @ndccommbureau youth to hound Kuffour from his official office per the constitution.

They said Kuffour had “Great Ashanti Project”.

I am not surprise that Hearts of Oak lost in Kpando today!!

One of the key things I identified during Hearts first game was the inability to transit their game into phases. Something that Basake Holy Stars did perfectly.

Against Heart of Lions and the story is still the same.… pic.twitter.com/izZHPx9Rbq

The only news I want to hear this morning is Hearts of Oak has parted ways with they're manager.

I am officially done with Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club effective today (September 15, 2024).

I'd be looking for a new team to support in the GPL, considering the club's leadership appears unconcerned and inept. #AccraHeartsOfOak

How do you give a player so much space and time to pick a pass

Who’s coaching Hearts of Oak https://t.co/AZA6qvuPXD

If in 2024, your player recruitment strategy is to play “justify”, then you’re not ready to compete.

And if you’re always interested in out-of-contract & lower division players, without proper integration into a regular squad, you’re still not ready.

This is Hearts of Oak.

These things should be printed on cards and shared on the streets of Kumasi. The radio stations should translate it into two and drum it home.

All the insults and disrespect they’ve shown Asantes shouldn’t be left like that😂 https://t.co/eCsBH8aEF6

As NAPO said yesterday,any person living in the Ashanti region be it an Akan or Asante who votes for the NDC is a nation wrecker... they know how powerful Asantes are yet they keep insulting us at any given opportunity .. Silence is golden!!! https://t.co/XzV2sLSXyB

This is very unfortunate, let’s do politics devoid of tribalism, I think this gentleman has to apologize to our Asante brothers & sisters.

I don’t subscribe to insults and divisive campaigns! It’s unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/xE1Kh6LDp0
