Sadiq Abdulai Abu the spokesperson on Creative Arts for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says Sarkodie and Samini will be exposed if he chooses to engage any of the two musicians on the issues they raised in their songs of endorsement.
On 3rd November, Samini released a song title ‘Kpoyaka’ that praises the achievements of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo since assumption of office in 2016 urging electorates to give the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate another four-year term
On other hand, Sarkodie spoke about the Akufo’s government implementations of some policies including one-factory, one district and free senior high school programme. He made these shout out in his song ‘Happy Day’ that featured Kuami Eugene.
“We all spoke against the dumsor and the high inflation rate and so if these have been solved at the moment with Ghanaians also enjoying free SHS, then all I can say is that Nana Akufo-Addo should continue for another four years,” he said in the song.
According to Sadiq, the two musicians lack knowledge on the isssues they talked about in their respective endorsement songs. On Ghana Web TV Show ‘Bloggers’ Forum’, Sadiq told host Abrantepa that: “The content of the songs smacks of a certain level of ignorance particularly on Sarkodie’s part. On Samini, information has just been packaged for him to say. I’m not sure if you sit with the two of them on the issues, they’ll recognize any of the issues. I doubt if the two of them have the brainpower to understand the issues that have been packaged for them to sing in their songs.”
“It’s ignorance of Sarkodie to have implied in his song that Nana Addo solved dumsor when the facts don’t adduce to that. Clearly, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Samini has just packed the usual NPP conversation. The NPP is very good at sloganeering so they packaged the slogans for Samini to sing. If I have a one-on-one with Samini or Sarkodie and we’re going into the issues, you’d understand that these people are very ignorant about it.” Sadiq concluded.
