The Minister-designate for Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, lauds Ghanaian dance artists Afronitaaa and Abigail for their stellar performance on ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’
The duo, represented by Danita Yeboah (Afronitaaa) and 7-year-old Abigail Adjiri, captured hearts on the international stage with their audition for the 17th season of the ITV competition, earning praise from both the audience and judges for their breathtaking performance.
Their showcase has sparked national pride, drawing support from dignitaries and the public.
Minister-designate Mercer extended an invitation to Afronitaaa, which was attended by notable figures including deputy minister Mark Okraku-Mantey, Amy Frimpong, and Stephany Yamoah from Ghana’s National Theatre and National Dance Company.
Mercer expressed deep emotion, recalling their moving display of the Ghanaian flag on the global platform.
“This beautiful lady and little girl brought the Ghana flag up on stage at Britain’s Got Talent. When I watched the clip, I shed a tear. It was extremely emotional. And the way the Ghana flag was hoisted, you held it out when you were about to start… You placed it on the stage. It was amazing,” he said.
He commended their impact on Ghana’s image abroad, echoing Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell’s optimistic view of their future, stating, “The sky is only the beginning.”
“What you guys did for our country was excellent. There’s no doubt at all. Like Simon Cowell said, ‘the sky is only the beginning for you guys’. It was an amazing performance,” he added.
