Renowned rapper Sarkodie has ignited public debate after voicing support for former President John Dramani Mahama’s recent call for an economic revolution across Africa.
Despite his past criticisms of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sarkodie took to social media to endorse Mahama’s anti-colonialism stance. The former president had just delivered a compelling speech advocating for Africa to reclaim ownership of its natural resources, highlighting the continent’s sufficient human capital, technological advancement, and access to financing.
“We now have the human resources, the technology, and the capital,” Mahama emphasized, calling for a shift from foreign dependency to African-led resource management.
Sarkodie’s public backing of Mahama’s message surprised many, given his previous critiques—particularly during the Dumsor power crisis under Mahama’s administration. His latest remarks appear to reflect a prioritization of national interest and economic independence over partisan divisions.
The rapper’s statement has stirred mixed reactions online, with some applauding his objectivity and others questioning his political intentions.
