Award-winning Gospel artiste, Cwesi Oteng has some political advice for Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, flagbearer of Progressive People’s Party. He stated that he should run for President with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in order to win. He explained that there are two major political parties that dominate therefore in order to win one has to join either one of them.
The musician was among the entertainment personalities that campaigned for then Presidential Candidate of the NPP. “I think that it would be so beautiful for Nduom to be president, but I wish that he’d enter NPP and break it through. If he enters NPP, he can win anything.”
He made these statements on Lexis Bill’s ‘Drive Time’ on Joy FM. The singer also added that for female Presidential Aspirant, Akua Donkor to win elections on the ticket of her political party, Ghana Freedom Party, she would need to amass a huge number of supporters.
Having entertainers speak on politics has always been a huge bone of contention for many Ghanaians. A lot of Ghanaians think entertainers do not have a place to make comments on politics and should not even speak on it at all. Therefore, a lot of Ghanaians would feel a certain type of way about Cwesi Oteng’s statements.
