Samini, a well-known dancehall artist, recently opened up about his reasons for supporting President Akufo-Addo during the 2020 elections in an interview with HitzFM.
He explained that his endorsement of Akufo-Addo was rooted in his desire to see the promises outlined in the governing party’s plan continue. Samini, like many others, was initially excited about Akufo-Addo’s campaign promises, but he now expresses his disappointment with the current government.
One of the key aspects of Akufo-Addo’s manifesto that drew Samini’s attention was the commitment to providing free Senior High School (SHS) education. Additionally, the promise of implementing one dam in every district (1D1D) and one factory in each district (1D1F), particularly to benefit farmers, intrigued him. The prospect of these factories creating job opportunities in his home region of the North held a special appeal for him.
However, Samini has become increasingly dissatisfied, claiming that the music industry has not received the attention and support that were promised during the 2020 campaign. He asserts that the reality has fallen short of the expectations set during the campaign, leaving him and others disheartened.
