Dancehall musician Shatta Wale has announced his intentions to run for president, expressing that the time for his leadership is approaching.
In a viral interview, Shatta Wale emphasized the necessity of surrounding himself with knowledgeable individuals focused on development, asserting his confidence in navigating the country’s systems effectively.
“We will win those old men in the system hands down, and I will find learned people around me with a developmental mindset. I will only be the president, and they will steer the affairs,” he declared.
Highlighting his vast fanbase across Africa as evidence of his influence, Shatta Wale insisted that Ghana needs a leader like him for positive change.
“Ghana needs a president like me. I am very confident, and I know how to run a fan base. That is why my fanbase is the largest in Africa. Forget everything else anyone is saying; my dream is to change Ghana,” he stated.
Shatta Wale credited his father’s encouragement as a major motivation for his political aspirations, emphasizing the importance of nationwide support.
“My dad has been telling me that I should venture into politics. He wants me to go into politics because he knows I could do it.
“If you guys can support me to start getting the music to go up the political ladder, I will stop the music and focus on studying. In the next four years, I will be able to contest and see if I won’t win hands down. In the next four years, I’ll be over 40 years old, so I’ll qualify,” he added.
Shatta Wale envisions himself as a proactive president, prioritizing action over rhetoric.
“Politics is not about coming to speak big grammar; Ghana is not a big grammar country. I just need good heads to control the system,” he retorted.
