Dancehall act, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr. has waded into the Performance debate of President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n
In a viral audio, Shatta Wale is heard saying the president\u2019s three years\u2019 performance in government deserves 15% marks.<\/p>\n
His assessment of the president comes days after Akufo-Addo\u00a0had told the Ghanaian press that contrary to some\u00a048% score awarded his government by\u00a0Imani Africa, a policy think tank,\u00a0 his government deserves 72% pass mark\u00a0for its performance.<\/p>\n
But Shatta Wale disagrees.<\/p>\n
The iconic reggae-dancehall musician and producer insists\u00a0the president deserves fewer marks.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me just give him 15% because people are complaining, you know, and me myself every morning the kind of people I have in front of my gate, as I\u2019m even not there now I\u2019m imagining the people there. If I go, it\u2019s like a doctor visiting his patients, you know, school fees, sickness, grandmother, grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s campaign promises of giving every district in Ghana a factory, every village a dam and every constituency US$1 million won him the heart of many Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
He obtained a staggering 5,716,609 of total votes cast in the 2016 elections, representing 53.84%, to snatch the Presidency from John Mahama, who secured 4,713,277 votes (44.40%).<\/p>\n
Three years on Shatta Wale believes the president must be realistic with himself about his performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho gave them 72 per cent?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, me I don\u2019t lie, this thing that I\u2019m saying I just want the president to even know himself that people are complaining, that life has become unbearable in Ghana.<\/p>\n
