Did Rawlings snub Oko Vanderpuije?

A video of former President J.J Rawlings snubbing Accra Mayor and incoming Member of Parliament of Ablekuma South, Mr. Oko Vanderpuije is making rounds on social media.

In the video, a very stern-faced Rawlings is seen taking a swipe at the mayor as the latter tries to spark a conversation with him as they climb the stairs of parliament.

Mr. Rawlings stops and gestures him to move aside whiles he continues to parliament house. Mr. Vanderpuije then moves back and greets some colleagues.
