Comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney, widely known as DKB is facing criticism after releasing an advertisement in support of John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour economy policy.
The sketch, meant to showcase Mahama’s famous idea of keeping businesses and banks running 24/7, has received backlash from different groups like the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a small faction of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and impartial onlookers.
DKB faced criticism for his comedic depiction of the 24-hour economy, with numerous people claiming he was spreading false information with a badly done sketch. Some spectators perceived the video as too basic, fearing it might give the wrong impression about the challenges of carrying out such a project.

In reaction to the backlash, DKB addressed the negative comments on social media and issued an apology for any offense caused by the sketch.
In a candid and emotional post, he expressed his disappointment, saying, “Eii I make weak. My heart breaks brutal, May3 basaa! Herh Chale, it over me sef walaahi. Anyway, those of you enjoying insulting me over the skit, enjoy! It’s not your fault; it’s my fault. I take responsibility. It will be alright! Time will tell.”
