Since Kennedy Agyapong got angry and promised to give President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia a "showdown" the term has been on everyone's lips.

But it seems the term has been used by Vice President Bawumia himself more than Kennedy Agyapong himself.

A new video making rounds on social media captures the vice president using the term joking during a public interaction with members of what seemed to be The Church of Pentecost.

The congregation then erupted into spontaneous laughter.

Bawumia has used 'showdown' not long ago

Before the latest video, Dr Bawumia made a "showdown" comment that also went viral on the internet.

Speaking at a party event, he said he would give the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, a showdown in the upcoming December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

"I will attract more votes for the NPP in the Volta Region, shaking the foundations of the NDC’s strongholds. They fear me for a reason; they know that if I become the NPP candidate, it will be a showdown for them,” he said during a campaign visit to Nkwanta South ahead of the November 4, 2023 presidential primaries.
