Ghanaian dancehall sensation Shatta Wale has set his sights on the highest office in the land, announcing his presidential aspirations with a bold declaration of confidence and a vision for change.
In a recent interview that quickly went viral, Shatta Wale emphasized the need for a new kind of leadership, supported by a team of knowledgeable individuals dedicated to development. “We will win those old men in the system hands down, and I will find learned people with a developmental mindset. I will be the president, and they will steer the affairs,” he asserted.
Highlighting his massive fan base across Africa as evidence of his influence and leadership capabilities, Shatta Wale stated, “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 credited his father’s encouragement as a significant motivator behind his political ambitions. “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,” Shatta Wale revealed.
Calling for support from his fans to help him transition from music to politics, he added, “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, so I’ll qualify.”
Shatta Wale envisions himself as a proactive president, focusing on practical solutions rather than “spewing big grammar.” He stated, “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.”
With a large and dedicated fanbase, Shatta Wale believes he can harness his popularity to bring about positive change in Ghana. His announcement has sparked discussions and garnered significant attention, with supporters and critics alike eager to see how his political journey unfolds.
