In a video on X, the young MP pushed a wheelbarrow filled with mixed concrete as he put in a shift which was a welcome surprise for most Ghanaians.
Jerry Ahmed Shaib was depicted chatting and laughing while working with other masons and construction workers. To the surprise of many people, he did not seem out of place and appeared to be enjoying his work.
He was tasked with pushing the wheelbarrow from the concrete mixer collection point to the house's driveway that seemed to be undergoing renovation.
Some masons were busy working to ensure this section is transformed and spread the mixture for an equal surface level.
It was not immediately clear if this happened in his constituency or somewhere else.
However, Jerry Ahmed Shaib is known to often engage with his constituents and sometimes helps them with their daily tasks.

“This by any means doesn’t make those people’s livelihood better. We like to celebrate mediocrity too much. See the poor folks being happy about this. A good politician won’t do this to look good in the eyes of his/her people because he is celebrated for doing the needful not this.”

“Street lights from the Weija junction to the toll booth are not working. People with bad eyesight are driving with headlights, affecting other drivers facing them, I’m a victim. Yet you’re here pushing a wheelbarrow.”

“No legislator in Nigeria can do this. They are gods and lords to the citizen, only interested in stealing govt money and living large. The citizens also worship and adore them for doing so. Nigerians are responsible for what is happening to them.”
