Popular Ghanaian content creator and YouTuber, Wodemaya, has expressed strong displeasure over comments made by some Zambians concerning the attire worn by President John Dramani Mahama during his official visit to Zambia.
President Mahama is currently on a three-day state visit to Zambia, where he is engaging in high-level diplomatic meetings and strengthening bilateral relations between Ghana and Zambia.

Reacting in a post on Facebook, the content creator described the remarks as offensive and unacceptable, noting how difficult it was for him to respond calmly.
“Just woke up reading disgusting comments from Zambians calling Fugu Blouse? I keep typing and deleting 🤣I’m really trying so hard to be diplomatic in my address but extremely difficult…”
