Last week, Ghanaian Dancehall/Afropop star shocked fans when he publicly declared his support for the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo ahead of the 2020 general elections.
His endorsement was accompanied by a campaign song, titled “Kpoyaka”, and in the song, he highly extoled Nana Akufo-Addo and his government and urged Ghanaians and his loyal fans to vote massively for him.
The multiple awarding-winning ‘Linda’ hitmaker described Nana Addo as original, hardworking, competent and someone who is known by the international community for his good governance.
Samini also labelled Nana Addo as ‘show boy’ – a popular local jargon used to describe people whose efforts are widely recognized by the entire nation.
Even though Samini failed to highlight the key achievements of the Nana Addo government in the lyrics of the song, some of those were highlighted in the official music video.
Since releasing the song, Samini has been bashed by his fans – especially the ones who support the opposition party, NDC – for choosing sides.
But, now, Samini has some explanations for fans and critics who do not like his move.
According to him, he chose Nana Addo over other presidential candidates because he wants him to continue his ‘good leadership’. For Samini, his choice is what makes democracy beautiful.
