Prince David Osei is an actor and social commentator
Popular actor and social commentator, Prince David Osei, has accused the government of hypocrisy and suppressing the freedom of expression of some Ghanaians.
In an X post on September 14, 2025, he expressed concern that citizens are being “unlawfully arrested for exercising their constitutional right.”
He accused the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of arresting individuals for practising values it once encouraged.
“Citizens are being unlawfully arrested for exercising their constitutional right to free speech. Is it fair to say the very dogs they bred are now barking back at them?
“A leader who once incited vandalism, chaos, violence, hate speech, and ethnic division… now turns a new leaf and begins arresting citizens for doing what he once championed?” he asked.
True democracy, he argued, is rooted in allowing dissent and critical voices.

Meanwhile, Prince David Osei’s post has since stirred discussions online.
While some Ghanaians have praised the actor for speaking out, others have cautioned against what they see as exaggeration.
To them, there is no source cited in his statement confirming specific instances of “unlawful arrests.”
Prince David Osei made these statements while responding to a public apology issued by former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Bawumia’s apology was on behalf of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), in which he acknowledged past errors and expressed remorse to the Ghanaian public.
Prince David Osei, commending Bawumia’s move, wrote, “It takes a visionary leader, humble and grounded like Dr Bawumia to acknowledge past mistakes and offer a sincere apology to the nation. God bless you.”
