Sonnie Badu Urges Ghanaians to Vote Wisely in Upcoming Elections
Ghanaian preacher and gospel singer, Sonnie Badu, has raised concerns about the current government’s performance, labeling it a failure. In an interview with Accra FM on 20 November 2024, Badu urged voters to take into account the high cost of living when casting their ballots on 7 December. He cautioned against falling for gifts from politicians on election day.
“Don’t let someone deceive you with gari, rice, and yam, so you throw away your precious vote. The only time you have power is now, and it’s shown by politicians visiting and mingling with you in towns and villages as if they can relate to your circumstances; when they get power, they will never come back,”
Badu further encouraged Ghanaians to vote out leaders who have failed to enhance the country’s economy. He emphasized the importance of considering one’s circumstances before casting a vote.
“If you are happy, vote. If you are not, vote. Consider your circumstances and vote. And vote out leaders who did not help the country when voted into power. I am only sharing my principles,”
Sonnie Badu, a renowned Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Rock Hill Church, is known for his hit songs like “Baba,” “My Soul Says Yes,” and “Still You Reign.” His recent statements echo the growing dissatisfaction among Ghanaians regarding economic challenges as they gear up for the upcoming elections.
Badu’s message resonates with many discontented Ghanaians who are longing for change. His call for voters to make informed decisions and not be swayed by temporary incentives serves as a timely reminder of the impact of thoughtful voting on the nation’s future.
