What I feel is that, it\u2019s quite a tall list of achievers in this country so Twitter has become a platform on which our President, His Excellency can sometimes feel free with us, I feel I can take advantage of that as an influential person to talk to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018My Own\u2019 singer added that, \u201cI felt like there is a move to allow entertainers and entertainment into the Flagstaff House which is not a common thing because we are seen as the direct opposite of the people in suits and ties so I felt like it was a good move and it will make us feel free to approach the corporate world if we are able to hang out with the President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samini, who will not have his annual concert \u2018Saminifest\u2019 this year, denies claims that the President\u2019s response to Shatta Wale\u2019s tweet was an eye-opener.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not an eye opener perse. What I would say is that if the President has legitimately invited an achiever to the Flagstaff House after wishing [the artiste] happy birthday and he honoured the invitation, then it makes it cool for achievers and industry people to know that you can randomly get a tweet from the President on your birthday and you can randomly get invited to come and just spend some time in the Flagstaff House so I just tweeted that my birthday is around the corner so if anything, \u2018I dey o\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was hopeful of a response from the President, Samini responded affirmatively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, of course, the Twitter account is official. It works. Maybe the tweet has vanished from the timeline just like Stonebwoy\u2019s tweet as well because both of us haven\u2019t got a reply yet. Maybe that day, the president wasn\u2019t on twitter which is understandable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Samini believes someone may have brought the President\u2019s attention his tweet, he insists he would be disappointed if he never gets a reply from the President.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: 39 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Monday, 13 November 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-11-13 Samini Dancehall artiste, Samini says he is optimistic that President Nana Akufo-Addo will give his tweet for an invitation the needed attention.
