Pounding fufu during campaign was not to influence voters’ perception, says Baba Sadiq

Entertainment analyst and politician Abdullai Abu Sadiq, popularly known as Baba Sadiq, has responded to criticism after a video of him pounding fufu went viral in July during a door-to-door campaign.

In an interview on Accra-based Hitz FM on 7 August 2024, Baba Sadiq clarified that his actions were motivated by a desire to connect with the community and not for votes.

“Sometimes, when you go from house to house, you meet them. It’s just familiarity. You go to their house, you see her pounding, and you decide to help her. It wasn’t to attract anything,” he stated.

Sadiq confirmed that his photographers were responsible for the viral photos on social media, and he is not bothered by the criticism.

“It was funny. When you’re a politician and you know the realities, some of these comments don’t get to you. You just laugh about it and move on,” he said.

Sadiq added that he was only concerned about the feedback from the woman, her household, and other constituents and not the online criticisms.
