Renowned musician Sarkodie, known in real life as Michael Owusu Addo, has thrown his weight behind Guru’s bid to become the President of the University of Ghana’s Students’ Representative Council (SRC). This endorsement came during Sarkodie’s performance at the Pent Hall Week Artiste Night on Friday, May 24, 2024.
Sarkodie used the platform to urge students to vote for Guru, emphasizing that the university will experience significant improvements under his leadership. He also highlighted that Guru’s presidency will create more opportunities for creatives within the school.
Sarkodie’s endorsement was accompanied by a personal touch, as he revealed that he knows Guru and believes he has the potential to be a great leader. He went on to say, “If you want me to come here again, then make Guru the President of the SRC.”
Guru, a musician and “Pooley” rapper, is now part of a growing list of public figures who have ventured into politics, seeking leadership positions in their respective institutions. His bid for the SRC presidency aims to lead the student body of the University of Ghana.
If Guru emerges victorious, he will join fellow musician Samini, who previously led the SRC at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). This would mark a significant milestone for creatives in leadership positions.
Sarkodie’s endorsement carries significant weight, given his influence and popularity among students. His support for Guru’s bid is expected to boost the latter’s chances in the election.
Guru’s campaign promises to focus on improving the student experience, fostering a more creative and inclusive environment, and addressing pressing issues within the university. His leadership aspirations align with his passion for empowering young people and creatives.
The University of Ghana’s SRC election is highly anticipated, with students eagerly awaiting the opportunity to choose their next leader. Guru’s candidacy has generated significant buzz, and Sarkodie’s endorsement has further amplified his campaign.
As the election approaches, students will be keenly observing the candidates’ manifestos, track records, and leadership potential. Guru’s bid, backed by Sarkodie’s endorsement, is poised to be a strong contender in the race.
Ultimately, the outcome of the election will determine the future of the University of Ghana’s student body and the impact that Guru’s leadership could have on the institution.
