Award-winning Highlife artiste, Ofori Amponsah, has expressed his understanding of Ghana’s prevailing financial crisis, attributing the challenges to external shocks rather than mismanagement.
In a recent interview with Berla Mundi on TV3, the renowned Cinderella hitmaker highlighted the urgent need for collective action to address the country’s economic difficulties.
Amponsah empathized with the plight of his fellow citizens, particularly those seeking greener pastures abroad, lamenting the untapped potential within Ghana’s borders.
He underscored the abundance of opportunities in sectors like agriculture, juxtaposing it with the prevalent mindset of prioritizing quick gains over sustainable wealth creation.
Calling for national introspection, the artiste emphasized the necessity for unity in tackling the economic issues facing Ghana.
He emphasized the cyclical nature of financial challenges in every country while championing a collaborative approach to finding lasting solutions.
Reflecting on the fluctuating exchange rates and political influences on currency values, Amponsah stressed the importance of long-term vision and stability in economic planning.
Furthermore, he urged for an increased focus on educating the youth about economic principles and governmental interventions, praising certain policies introduced by the NPP for their potential positive impact.
Expressing his allegiance to the NPP and his faith in a transformative leader, Amponsah envisioned a digital revolution under the current administration.
While acknowledging the limitations faced by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in effecting change, the artiste remained optimistic about the future trajectory of the nation under visionary leadership.
We have to do an introspection as a people to know what exactly is ailing our economy or our country as a whole. So for me, the step of especially educating the youth is the reason why I hold on to the NPP.
They actually introduced a lot of interventionist programmes than the other side. I’m purely NPP. I see something different in that man. I see him to be the future of this nature; I see he will transform Ghana.
People don’t really understand and People think about bread and butter alone. There are certain times where people in places will make decisions to change the destiny of a nation and I believe that man sees that in this digital age, something should be done and he sees that vision of a digital Ghana.
