Reggae artist Blakk Rasta recently stirred controversy with his vow to leave Ghana should Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia win the upcoming presidential elections.
During an interview, he stated his intention to relocate with his family, pets, and possessions, indicating that he would only consider returning if Dr. Bawumia is no longer in power.
Blakk Rasta’s decision reflects his concerns about the potential consequences of a Bawumia presidency, particularly in terms of economic hardship and alleged dishonesty.
He criticized Dr. Bawumia’s economic strategies and expressed doubt about his ability to enact meaningful change given his current government affiliations.
“If Bawumia wins the next election, I am out of this nation. If anyone votes for Bawumia it means they don’t fear hardship it means they like lies,” he said.
This development adds to the ongoing political discourse in Ghana, where both major parties, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), are actively campaigning for the presidency. Dr. Bawumia’s aspirations have drawn attention and criticism, especially regarding his role in economic governance.
Blakk Rasta’s statement underscores the deep-rooted political engagement and differing perspectives within Ghanaian society as the country approaches a pivotal moment in its leadership and governance.
