APOLOGY ACCEPTED, SEE YOU IN OLD TRAFFORD SOON – MAGUIRE TO HON. ADONGO

Manchester United’s defender Harry Maguire has responded to a viral video of Ghanaian Member of Parliament Isaac Adongo apologising to him following the player’s recent good run of form.

MP for Bolgatanga Central rendered an unqualified apology to the England international in Parliament for comparing him to Ghana’s Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia when he referred to them as poor performers.

Maguire, at the time of Adongo’s initial evaluation, was underperforming for the Red Devils and was even ‘scoring own goals’ to help the cause of opponents, prompting a comparison with Ghana’s Vice President and Head of Economic Management under whose watch the country’s economy has taken a beating.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament , Mr Adongo said “Will you prefer Mr Mahama’s economy where you were drinking your kalyppo for 50 pesewas, to your (era)… where you are buying that Kalyppo for GH₵6? Which do you prefer? You have inflated your revenue by over GH₵40 billion so that you can now project expenditure of GH₵226 billion so you can have GH₵40 billion cushion for reckless expenditure in an election year, that is all that you have done.”

Reacting to the video which has gone viral, the Man United central defender accepted the MP’s apology.

“MP Issac Adongo apology accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon,” Maguire responded to a post on ‘X’ regarding the video.

“Mr Speaker you remember that last year, I was very quick to compare my big brother, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to Harry Maguire. Mr Speaker, I am now apologising to Harry Maguire. Today Maguire has turned, he is a transformational footballer,” Adongo said.

“Harry Maguire is now scoring goals for Manchester United. Harry Maguire is now a key player for Manchester, as for our Maguire [Dr Bawumia], he is now roaming at the IMF with a cup in hand. As for our economic Maguire, he was able to get our pensioners to leave their homes and come and parade in the streets,” he added.
