A Plus asserts it is only participating in politics that politicians would be forced to deliver
People easily refrain from politics in Ghana for various reasons.
Some say it’s dirty, others claim it supports violence and disrespect.
But, according to musician and political activist, A Plus, every Ghanaian must decide to engage in politics.
He explained that, it is only through politics by participating that politicians would be forced to do their work.
A Plus said: “I think everyone must be part of the politics. It is a golden opportunity to be able to change the country,” he said in an interview with host, KMJ on Joy Prime TV.
A Plus is championing a cause dubbed the ‘Peoples’ Project’, an initiative set up to combat corruption and to keep leaders of the country on their toes.
Some people have lambasted him for wanting to indirectly use the initiative as a stepping stone to form a political party.
Reacting to this in the same interview, he debunked those assertions, insisting that he doesn’t involve himself in politics for political power, but only to improve the standard of living of its citizens.
“They say I lost a New Patriotic Party contract that’s why I am like this but this is how I have been… I don’t want to be a Minister. I have not asked anyone to vote for me through The Peoples’ Project’,” he said.
