Addressing the prevailing sentiment that Mahama's presidency was incomplete due to the circumstances surrounding his initial term, Osei raised the pertinent question: "What’s he coming to finish exactly?"

In a somewhat unconventional turn, he invoked references to mythical beings participating in democratic processes, underscoring the unpredictable nature of elections.

Osei emphasized the significance of divine intervention in choosing leaders, suggesting that ultimately, the outcome of the election is subject to a higher power's will.
