Kumawood actor Nana Kofi Agyeman, famously known as Oboy Siki, has sparked controversy by claiming that his political understanding far exceeds that of celebrities endorsing Ghana’s major parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The entertainment industry has witnessed intense rivalry between Kumawood actors and top musicians supporting NPP and NDC during political campaigns.
In an exclusive interview with AMBASSADOR TV, monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Oboy Siki stated, “I prefer not to endorse any political party but will critique them when necessary. Many celebrities endorsing NPP and NDC are driven by personal gain rather than the country’s progress.”
“I possess greater political sensibility compared to fellow celebrities in movies and music who endorse NPP and NDC. While I won’t align with any party, I can influence people’s voting decisions more effectively due to my longstanding political involvement,” Oboy Siki remarked.
He cautioned his endorsing colleagues, noting that political affiliations could impact their careers negatively.
Oboy Siki emphasized his freedom to criticize both parties impartially, citing his deeper understanding of politics.
“By not aligning with a party, I retain the ability to criticize NPP and NDC genuinely. I comprehend politics better than entertainers endorsing these parties,” he stressed.
