Bob Okala Joins Prez Mahama Campaign

A renowned Ghanaian comedian, popularly known as Bishop Bob Okala has declared his unflinching support for the candidature of President John Dramani Mahama in the impending elections.

He has therefore called on all Ghanaians to vote massively for Mr. Mahama to retain him and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government in office. Bishop Okala made the appeal in Ho last week when he stormed the jubilee park to support the manifesto launch of the NDC.

Okala has been part of the NDC campaign team in recent times with NDC branded pickup van at his disposal. He was seen on Monday at Agona Swedru during celebration of Cocoa Day with President Mahama in attendance.

He was dressed in NDC colours holding the picture of Mahama.

However, at Ho last Thursday, the former champion in local comedy was clad in a Ghanaian costume with his trademark wall clock turned wrist watch and bow tie made of ‘tapoli’ and NDC muffler.

He thrilled the audience at the park with some of his jaw-breaking dance moves and strides. He also had his usual face paintings and large goggles on.

Bishop Okala, who was known in private life as Samuel Yeboah Boaben, told Daily Guide that his resolve to support the campaign of John Mahama was because the President was a good man who loved development.

According to him, President John Mahama was the only person who could maintain the peace, stability and development legacy of the late President, Atta Mills. He added that although he could not force John Mahama on anybody, he would only do all he could as an individual and a celebrity to convince others to join Mahama to victory in the December elections.

Bishop Bob Okala was one of the few who had a special handshake from the Former President and founder of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings, minutes after he had arrived and seated at the dais.
