During an interview with Oyerepa TV, Ghanaian actor, real name Kwadwo Nkansah, revealed that the former president advised him to stay away from politics if he intended to maintain his relevance within the movie industry.
The actor also adds that supporting a political party would have hampered his vision of owning a school for all.

“For me I don’t do politics, I am an asset to the nation, so I love everybody. NPP belongs to us and NDC also belongs to us but since I was young, I said to myself that I will never engage myself in politics because I knew I will be a proprietor of a school one day.
“And per our kind of politics, if you join one party then the other tends to hate you, so if I have this vision then I shouldn’t engage myself in politics because the school children will be mixed from all political backgrounds both NPP and NDC”, he said.
The actor claims that during the 2016 election season, he even spoke with representatives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
But it was former President Mahama who helped him make up his mind to stay out of politics.
