Mahama gave the youth opportunities to excel; Akufo Addo stifles them – Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale, a controversial dancehall rapper, has eulogized former President John Mahama, saying that he gave possibilities for the country's young to thrive.

Shatta Wale has compared the two presidents, Nana Akufo Adoo and John Mahama, in terms of the assistance they provided to the youth, particularly in the field of creative arts, throughout their terms in office.

Shatta Wale believes that former President John Dramani Mahama should be given a second chance in the 2024 election to ensure that the youth attain greatness.

“Mahama when he was in power was doing everything for the youth to survive. I was getting opportunities from the Presidency for instance the Chief of Staff Julius Debrah was always giving me stuff. He respected me as an artist.” 

“I believe he wasn't only dealing with me, he was dealing with VIP and a whole lot of artists. We don't get that from this current government. I won't say maybe other musicians are getting it. Even If they are getting we can't see it.”

“Basically, sometimes you have to look at that side of our life and…Let me put it straight, I was doing a back-to-school project which was my project. 

“Anytime I go to Villages and schools I give out books, stationery and stuff like that and I spoke to one of them in Mahama's government and they took me to one office and the other and before you realize they were supporting me,” he said on Accra-based Joy FM.
