My dad wants me to go into politics because he knows I am confident and understands how to run a movement like mine” he stated. My fanbase is the biggest in Africa… forget anything, and that is my dream—that one day I will help to change Ghana but Ghanaians must start encouraging me. We can start a political school for people to get degrees. If people come together to support me, I will stand on my feet, quit music, and in the next four years, before another election, I will be contesting” he opined.
