President Akufo-Addo and Lucky Mensah in a handshake
Highlife musician, Lucky Mensah, is back with a new song eulogizing President Nana Akufo-Addo and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for good governance so far.
The song which is an endorsement for NPP, ahead of 2020 general elections, seeks Ghanaians to retain Nana Addo as the country’s president.
According to Lucky Mensah’s lyrics, this is because Nana Addo is a better president than former president John Mahama, who will be contesting the 2020 elections on the ticket of National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Titled, ‘Nana Y3ny3 Wodien Ni’, the song was released with a video which has been trending on social media platforms since yesterday. It placed emphasis on the issue of age in Ghanaian politics.
It said “the things (development) the younger president couldn’t do, the old man has come to do it.”
Lucky Mensah also reminded Ghanaians “not to forget Dumsor (power cuts) has stopped and people also have their jobs going efficiently well for them under President Nana Addo.”
He continued to give props to the president for initiating free Senior High School as well as “improving National Health Insurance.”
He also mentioned the construction of railways across the country to help easy transportation, as one of the good things the current government had done for the country.
To those who always criticize the president, he said they just took stand to criticize and nothing government did pleased them, referring to the NDC party and its members.
Lucky who was a well known sympathizer of the NDC, disowned the NDC leading up to the 2016 general elections, asserting that the then President Mahama failed woefully to lead the nation’s development agenda, subjecting many into economic hardship and sufferings.
He later paid a visit to the residence of Nana Akufo-Addo to present him with a copy of his latest track then, ‘Yeresesamu,’ in September 2016, to support the NPP’s 2016 election campaign.
It appears he didn’t regret supporting Nana Addo and wanted Ghanaians to retain the president in the upcoming election.
