Check out Tilapia’s satirical cartoon on Dr. Bawumia titled “The Allawa lies” and why TV3 apologized.

TV3, a subsidiary of Media General, has issued an apology to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), following recent publications that subjected him to public ridicule.

The graphic design showed a nurse giving the Vice President a jab to cure and stop “the allawa lies”.

Earlier this year, Dr. Bawumia had announced that the government would release outstanding nursing trainee allowances, stating, “I am assuring our trainees that come this Thursday, the Controller and Accountant General shall transfer funds (177 million) to the Ministry of Finance for onward crediting of the trainee allowances accounts. So, hopefully by next week the ‘Alawa’ will drop.”

He said this during the launch of International Nurses Day organized by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) in Accra, following threats of protest from affected nurses.

TV3 acknowledged the graphic representation created by Tilapia Da Cartoonist and stated, “We retract and apologize for the depiction of the NPP Flagbearer in the said publication and any related unsavoury comments made on any of our platforms in recent times.”

“As a responsible media organization, we value fairness, accuracy, and respect in our reporting and content creation,” the media house added in its statement.
