Renowned rapper Medikal has called on the president-elect, John Dramani Mahama, to prioritize the welfare of youth when sworn into office.
According to him, he does not trust the president-elect but has belief in him to revamp the economy.
Amg Medikal said this in an X post after the former president was officially declared by the chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa, as the president-elect and the subsequent address of Mahama to the nation.
“Let it be known to the incoming president, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, that I do not trust him but rather believe in him. Let this new change be exhibited drastically!” he said.
The “Omo Ada” hitmaker further urged the president-elect to have his son’s generation in mind to build a better Ghana that would propel the youth for future prospects.
“If not for anything, he should foresee the generation of Sharaf, ‘a good friend of mine (his son) and the betterment of the youth in Ghana and beyond. Thank you,” he added.
Medikal also expressed concern about the current administration and accused the Akufo-Addo-led administration of arresting him in September 2021 for brandishing a gun.
He said his arrest was without a tangible reason, and when his lawyers followed up on the matter, they were told, “It was an order from above.”
“NPP arrested me for no tangible reason, NPP put me in cells, and locked me up in jail (Ankaful Maximum Security Prison) all in the name of power. My lawyers tried to communicate with superiors, and all they got in response was,It’s an order from above’,” he tweeted.
It could be recalled that the rapper was remanded into police custody for five days, and when he reappeared before the court on October 26, 2021, he was granted a bail of Gh¢100,000.
