Ghanaian MP Isaac Adongo has apologised to Manchester United star Harry Maguire after using his name in a political context last year.
Adongo had previously compared Maguire to Ghana’s vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, suggesting both were prone to scoring “political own goals.”
Meanwhile, in a recent parliamentary session, Adongo acknowledged that Maguire has improved in his performance and publicly apologised to the Manchester United defender.
He said, “If you remember last year, I was very quick to compare (vice president) Mahamudu Bawumia to Harry Maguire. Mr. Speaker, I now apologise to Harry Maguire.”
Adongo went on to point out Maguire’s positive transformation on the football field: “Today Maguire has turned the corner; he’s a transformational footballer.
“Harry Maguire is now scoring goals for Manchester United,” he added.
Making another subtle statement, the MP used the football analogy to take another dig at the vice president.
“As for our Maguire, the economic Maguire, he was able to get pensioners to leave their homes and come and parade in the streets.”
