Former President John Dramani Mahama has waded into the cartoon brouhaha which saw the national communication officer of the NDC Sammi Gyamfi trending on Twitter Tuesday.

The former President who did not comment directly on the George Floyd cantoon artwork – centre of the controversy – appeared to suggest people criticising the NDC communicator are playing double standards.

Mr. Mahama, however, shared an artwork that reflects the violence that engulfed the Ayawaso bye-election with a commentary.

Below is Mr. Mahama’s post on Facebook.

A tale of two cartoons:

Sensitivity – Sensitivities (plural).

Definition: the quality or condition of being sensitive: feelings liable to be offended or hurt; sensibilities.

Double standard – Double standards (plural).

Definition: a rule or principle, which is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups.
