He is not just an economic whizz-kid and a digital enthusiast championing the government’s digital agenda, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has proven he could have become the Lionel Messis and Cristiano Ronaldos of world football if he chose to pursue football as a profession.

Dr. Bawumia got Ghanaians talking on Wednesday when he uploaded a video urging the Black Star players to give their all in their 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign to win the trophy.

In the video, it captures the Vice President donned in the men’s senior national team shirt exhibiting his football skills

Since the video was first shared online, it has received a wide range of responses.

The video earned him a new moniker “BawuMessi” – a Messi stan juxtaposing the Vice President’s skillful display to the Argentine.
