He used himself as an example when he recounted how he diligently served one SRC president during his time as a level 100 student.

“Well, I don’t know Abeiku Santana but hey, if I have to serve to dine with great men, I’d do it. Even if you need to clean the shoe of the great man. In L100, I carried and polished the shoes of an SRC President until I became one in L400. My service paid but who remembered it?” he said.

Ghanaians trolls Abeiku Santana

Previously YEN.com.gh reported that Abeiku Santana became a subject after suffering an embarrassing episode at the birthday celebration of Osei Kwame Despite.

Everything happened after Abeiku Santana tried to shake the hand of his boss' hand.

But the businessman did not respond as the broadcaster extended his hand to be shaken. He rather chose to hug and shake the hands of Ofori Sarpong and others around.

Though it looked like an unpleasant situation, Santana took it in his stride and continued to sing the happy birthday song even when almost everybody had stopped.
