Samini Commends Mahama’s Leadership and Judicial Accountability

Award-winning dancehall artiste Samini has voiced his approval of Ghana’s current leadership direction under President John Mahama, especially commending recent judicial efforts to promote accountability among public officials.

Speaking on the premiere of PrimeTime with George Quaye on Joy Prime, the outspoken musician highlighted a growing sense of justice and transparency that he finds encouraging.

“As things stand now, I’m a happy Ghanaian,” Samini said. “I appreciate that people are being held accountable and justice appears to be taking its course. That’s the kind of progress I support.”

Though Ghana’s politics often stir partisan debate, Samini clarified that his opinions are rooted in principle rather than political allegiance.

“I’m not going to stay silent just because someone I like is under scrutiny,” he explained. “If you’re entrusted with public office, your duty is to serve Ghana with integrity. If you abuse that trust, you should be held accountable. I support that fully.”

When asked if he believes President Mahama and the NDC are performing well, Samini responded:

“The President and the judiciary are doing a good job so far—that’s where I’ve noticed the most activity. On other matters, it may be too early to comment.”

Known for music that often tackles social issues, Samini has typically stayed away from overt political statements. However, his recent remarks reflect a readiness to speak more openly on matters of national governance.

He added that his support isn’t tied to any single political party.

“If the New Force political party presents credible policies and shows real leadership potential, I’d support them,” he noted.

For now, Samini says he’s inspired by the wave of accountability and reform.

“We need to see wrongdoers called out. That’s the path to building a stronger, better Ghana.”
