A video of how former President John Dramani Mahama avoided shaking hands with the National Chief Imam Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu in an apparent show of disrespect for the revered Islamic leader, has popped up on social media.
In the video, Mr Mahama is seen avoiding a handshake with the National Chief Imam but graciously shakes hands with other dignitaries.
It is unclear what necessitated the action of the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress for the 2024 general elections.
However, some netisens attribute it to what they believe is the cordial relationship between the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the National Chief Imam.
