In life, you need to stand for something or you stand for nothing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted he has always been enthusiastic about good governance and had been calling out successive governments since late President Atta Mills\u2019 administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not someone who is easily pressured. I live by my own rules. I believe in integrity and value for humanity. I have always been outspoken since the era of the late President Atta Mills. I am first a citizen, before a party lover and an aspiring politician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stood on political platforms to campaign for my party NPP and H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, pleaded, persuaded, convinced Ghanaians to accept NPP\u2019s 4 More To Do More, so it is just rational to speak for the same people when things aren\u2019t going the way we all anticipated amid global economic issues,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He started giving a hint about his displeasure with the NPP government last year. <\/p>\n<p>He, however, attracted attention when he threatened to stage a demonstration against the government if things didn\u2019t change in a post on his social media pages early this month.<\/p>\n<p>He gave more impetus to his criticisms of the government when he asked the president to be humble and seek help to change the economic fortunes of the country.<\/p>\n<p>But while all these may seem too harsh coming from one who campaigned for NPP, he said his ultimate goal was to see a better Ghana for all citizens irrespective of their political affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NPP faithful are rather happy I spoke up and it\u2019s a big inspiration to them. I interact with the streets always, so I know the atmosphere every time, sometimes, they give me a message to put out there since they know I have the voice and platform,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the country\u2019s economic woes, the actor is also not happy with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture saying \u201cthe ministry responsible for the Creatives has failed us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prince David Osei under fire as Ghanaians haunt him over NPP govt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I will campaign against govt if \u2026 \u2013 Prince David Osei<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The last few years have not been good for the Ghanaian movie industry but according to Prince David Osei, things are getting better with Akwaaba Magic on DStv and ROKGh also on DStv financing local productions and content. \u201cWe all are a little busy, especially the upcoming ones.
