Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei, has expressed his surprise at the criticism he receives regarding his political views.
In an interview with Joy FM, he emphasized that everyone has the right to endorse any political ideology, and it’s inappropriate for others to dismiss someone else’s beliefs.
He highlighted that many celebrities openly support political parties, yet numerous Ghanaians are uncomfortable with his affiliations.
“ People find it okay to believe in an ideology as individuals, it’s okay for them but when they find someone else believing in an ideology then they have a problem and it makes me sick because there are NDC celebrities.
“Everybody in this country claim to be non-partisan, I don’t do politics, it’s a lie everybody believes in a political ideology, whether CPP, NDC or NPP so I am comfortable with you being who you are and what you believe in so why can’t you be comfortable with me being who I want to be,” he added.
Recently, actor Prince David Osei and Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame were selected to contribute to the manifesto of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
They are part of the party’s sub-committee on tourism, arts, and culture, chaired by Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante, Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), and Akwasi Agyemang, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA).
Other members include former Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Catherine Abelema Afeku, Dr. Ama Boafo-Arthur, Prof. Issahatu Adam, and Claudia Lumor, founder of the Glitz Style Awards. Additionally, Nana Yaw Manteaw, Yaa Pokua Baiden, Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu (KOKA), Festus Frimpong Gyebi, Eric Owusu Akreso Dr. Ackah Kwame Nyameke, and Radia Adama Saani are also members.
Given the high expectations from stakeholders in the cultural and creative industries, this committee is tasked with crafting initiatives that will significantly benefit the sector.
