Ghanaian Actor Majid Michel Contemplates Political Future
Ghanaian actor Majid Michel has recently hinted at the possibility of entering the political arena in the future. In an interview on Joy Prime on 18 December 2024, Michel revealed that his decision to potentially run for the highest office in the country would be driven by his concerns over the deteriorating societal issues.
“The truth is because I am not angry yet. Whatever you are angry about is your duty to fix. So, you come out of your house, and you see the choked gutters and pure water sachets around, and you are angry about it, then it is your duty to fix it.”
“I am not yet angry because things are not going too badly, but when they start going very bad and you get very angry, then you realize the responsibility is yours.”
Additionally, Michel shared his insights on enhancing the growth of Ghana’s movie industry by emphasizing unity and collaboration with Nigeria.
“We did an experimental movie called Divine Love that featured both Ghanaians and Nigerians, and it worked really well, and we became strong. Initially, it used to be Nigerians who needed our help when it came to movies, and after they got it, they built their industry far better than us, and they don’t need our help anymore. Usually, it is ego play. Put ego aside and keep friendship.”
“How God created the world is interdependent. You are not an island, and you need help… So, regardless of how powerful you think you are, you can never work unless in a team.”
Majid Michel is a multifaceted individual, known not only for his acting skills but also for his roles as a model, television personality, evangelist, and humanitarian. He has been recognized with nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Africa Movie Academy Awards multiple times over the years.
