It is too late to say you are sorry—Watch Moment Speaker Alban Bagbin sings during his press meeting

During a press briefing on Wednesday, Ghana's Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, surprised reporters with a little comedy amidst the serious conversation by breaking into song in a rare and unexpected moment of levity. Bagbin, who is well-known for his dedication to his legislative duties and his generally serious manner, gave the meeting a lighthearted twist by quoting the line of a well-known song: "It's too late to say you're sorry," which delighted and interested the reporters.

The humorous moment occurred when Bagbin talked about the persistent difficulties in Parliament, touching on procedural matters and the necessity of more cooperation among members, according to Adom website. In a sudden change, he implied that some problems had progressed to a point where they were no longer easily fixed by using the song's lyrics to highlight how serious some unresolved difficulties were. For the current political difficulties, especially those involving vacant seats and procedural delays, his reference was a poignant metaphor.

Laughter greeted the lighthearted interlude, revealing a side of Bagbin that is seldom seen in public. He is generally regarded as a serious individual because he is a seasoned legislative leader and a strong supporter of constitutional integrity. But this impromptu gesture demonstrated his capacity to relate to others on a more casual level while striking a balance between humor and his obligations.

Bagbin's spontaneous act gave reporters a glimpse of his complex personality and added a welcome element to the briefing. Everyone in attendance was reminded by the incident that, even in the face of urgent national issues, a little humor may help to defuse tension.
