Hiplife star Barima Sydney has stirred up discussions among Ghanaians regarding the upcoming presidential elections.
Despite his previous association with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Barima stated the importance of evaluating the government’s performance objectively before deciding at the polls.
The singer, rapper and songwriter expressed disappointment in the current administration under Nana Akufo-Addo’s leadership but stood by his past support for the president during the transition of power from the previous government headed by John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking on Property FM in Cape Coast, Barima said;
“I’ve always said this and I’ll continue to say that I have no regret for throwing my support behind Akufo-Addo at that time due to the things he said he’ll do. I’m not one of those people who can say that as at that time I thought he’d do so much but now I feel disappointed or I regret my decision to support his candidature.”
“I know that they are facing many challenges they’re going through and that’s why I said that they have done what they could but what they couldn’t do too is there.
“As for these upcoming elections, everyone must consider what’s happening in their lives and use it to vote because it might not be going well for me but someone is also making it big somewhere.
“But I will never stand anywhere and say that I have regretted my decision to throw my weight or support behind NPP and Akufo-Addo as at that time I’ll never do that,” he added.
