Prez Nana Addo Tweets To Invite Shatta Wale To Flagstaff House
As we all know, yesterday was the ‘Dancehall King’ Shatta Wale’s birthday. He got birthday wishes from many people across the country and particularly in the entertainment industry.
However, there was one person he did not think would tweet at him and certainly not in the manner the birthday wish happened.
Incidentally, the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, went on Twitter to wish Shatta Wale a happy birthday.
The birthday wish surprisingly was written in pidgin English. He also used the tweet to invite Shatta to the Flagstaff House.
President Akufo-Addo tweeted: “Happy birthday @shattawalegh! You for come visit me for Flagstaff House o!”.
Before the President’s tweet, Shatta sent out a tweet to the President asking what he will get for his birthday. It seems the President’s invitation is the gift he would get.
For a while, we at Ghafla thought the President had been hacked and even former British High Commission, Jon Benjamin, pointed out the President’s use of pidgin. It seems that other Ghanaians on Twitter were surprised as well.
If you would remember, during the 2016 presidential campaign, Nana Addo revealed that he was a big fan of Shatta Wale.
His party the NPP also used Shatta Wale’s hit song ‘Kakai’ for their manifesto launch.
It remains to be seen whether Shatta Wale will honor the invitation of Nana Addo.
However, if he does visit the Flagstaff House, we would bring you the pictures.
