Popular Ghanaian comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney popularly known as DKB has reacted to criticism of his recently released video for John Mahama’s campaign.

DKB, one of the Ghanaian stars openly campaigning for Mahama and the NDC, released a skit on the party’s proposed 24-hour economic policy. The scheme was intended as an advertisement to explain the policy to the Ghanaian public.

Many others in the NPP including Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko also used the NDC ad, stressing that the 24 hour economy advocates did not even get it.

The NDC quickly distanced itself from the parody in response to the growing controversy. In an official statement, the party advised that anyone wishing to promote NDC policies should seek authorization and guidance from the National Communications Office.

“The NDC itself hurts me but it’s okay. Posterity will judge us. I still have love for JM and the 24 hour economy,” he said.
