Sam George Spanks Stephen Amoah’s Bald Head On Live TV Program

“Aplanke is not an abusive word,”

It was a hilarious moment on TV3’s New Day show when Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George and Stephen Amoah, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry and a Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso got into a heated debate over Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s ‘driver’s mate’ comment.

Vice President Bawumia during his address at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, drew parallels between his current role as Vice-President and that of a driver’s mate, emphasising a transformative vision if he assumes the presidency.

“As Vice-President I am like a driver’s mate. But if, by the Grace of God, you make me President, I will be in the driver’s seat with constitutionally mandated authority to pursue my vision and my priorities. So, what do I want to do in terms of vision, priorities and policies if you give me the opportunity, by the Grace of God, to become President of the Republic of Ghana?”

This analogy was not welcomed by Sam George who described Dr Bawumia as “Aplanke”, a Ga term used to describe a bus conductor, during today’s edition of New Day show.

Stephen Amoah did not have it and said it was an inappropriate word to use.

“Aplanke is not an abusive word,” Sam George said.

Roland Walker then asked Sam George whether his declaration to knock Mr Amoah was just in jest. Mr George replied saying “when your child is misbehaving, don’t you tap his head.”

As he made the comments, his right hand went to the back of Mr Amoah’s head. He tapped his head severally, but not with intense force to cause any significant discomfort.

Playfully, Mr Stephen Amoah said “unallowed touching.” He added, “the head was made by God.” He also noted that he will speak to his lawyers regarding the issue.
