CSOs Mount Pressure On Sarkodie To Apologise For Smoking On Social Media
The Ghana Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have admonished rapper, Sarkodie for sharing photos of him smoking on social media.
According to them, Sarkodie is seen as a role model to many youths across the country and he cannot be allowed to influence them negatively.
They called on him to render apology to the Ghanaian people.
A statement issued by Mr Labram Musah, the Director of Programmes of VALD, and National Coordinator of Ghana NCD Alliance, called upon the rapper to desist from sharing images of him smoking on social media. The statement reads, “We are very disappointed in Sarkodie for circulating pictures of himself smoking a cigar on social media without considering the negative influence this singular act stands to have on the public, especially the youth, most of whom consider him as their role model.
“We are also by this statement calling on the singer to render an apology to all Ghanaians, especially the youth, for such a distasteful act that has the propensity of changing the behaviour of our youth from good to bad and pledge to support and promote the health and well-being of all.’’
