BICE Osei Kuffour aka Obour, NPP Parliamentary aspirant for Asante Akyem South Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has called on politicians to desist from politicising the COVID-19 pandemic saying that was very insensitive and irresponsible.
Obour who is also the former President of the Musicians Union of Ghana(MUSIGA) was speaking on the negative status of all 33 people who came into contact with his late father, Nana Osei Boansi Kuffour who allegedly died of Covid-19 about a fortnight ago.
"I am extremely happy and highly elated that all 33 persons who had to be quarantined and eventually tested as contact tracing came out negative.
"The news of the negative report came to me with great joy and wish to sincerely thank God for His mercies”, he said.
According to the Konkotibaa hitmaker, “every political opponent who sought to politicize the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the demise of my dad should bow their heads in shame".
“Although I have been under quarantine all these while, I was closely following happenings in the Asante Akyem South Constituency and it is a big shame that people could be so heartless by seeing COVID-19 as a tool for politicking leading to the creation of fear and panic in the constituency and beyond”, he added.
Obour said under no circumstances should a pandemic like COVID-19 be exploited as a political weapon and people who contract the virus should not be stigmatised.
“Just because he tested positive for Covid-19, has Boris Johnson ceased being the Prime Minister of UK? Or is Prince Charles no longer a prince of the British Kingdom because he tested positive?
"Or has Iddris Elba stopped being a celebrity and Prince Albert II of Monaco no longer the political head of Monaco because they tested positive?”,he quizzed.

But you have no opponent because to me you are not part of the race . A very dishonest person. You told the whole world that you used ghc800,000 to conduct a ghost research as the president of musiga. You hesitantly told the ridge hospital staff that your late dad travelled from the uk, why should you hide vital information such as travel history from the health team. Was it about stigma or what.
Masa you should know how Ghana politics is played s. Did you not know this is how it is ? ***barred word*** and take the insults and all the dirt in it
***barred word***. What kind of shame?
Funny & Brag, u guys for chill mann, don't perpetuate distortions put out by the trigger happy Emefa Apau and all dem shitty Gh media stations,medical officers from the inner parameters of the case never alluded to that your so called nondisclosure of travel history vibe. Aside Obour trying to disabuse the minds of folks like u whose minds were poluted with that misconsception, a snapshot of Ridge medical staff wattsap group comms affirming the veracity of full disclosure including travel history was sent out to sm media stations to diffuse the fallacy making the rounds and alley the doubt however, as is usual of most Ghanaians, you sought to ride by the distortions earlier perpetrated by secondary skewed minded reporters. Next time, factcheck before u leap, seek the truth and it shall set u flock of ignoramus know-it-all free
The hospital and the staff were just ***barred word***. At this point, they didn't need to be told of someone's travel history before they took precautions. And the paramedics, what are their roles? They should have even evaluated the situation and communicated to the hospital even before the arrival of the patient.
Please Obour, sue all the Doctors who let your father died because from my medical experience, your father didn’t die from COVID-19 as earlier said/diagnosed. This’s simple, if 33 people came into contact with a COVID patient, there’s 99% sure that at least 1/3 of the people will be infected and this is a situation where none of you got infected is a total flow and incompetence for those doctors to declare your father death as Covid related. Think twice?
Honour, it's better to keep quiet because the medical team are not part of your political opponents. The fact still remains that you failed to make full disclosure of the travel history of your dad. The fact that 33 persons traced and tested were all negative doesn't exonerate you from the blunder you committed. Politics or no politics, you were wrong.
The doctors don't belong to opposition party please. I keep saying people make a lot of sense when they keep quite.
