Medikal Claims Suffering Under Akufo-Addo, Bawumia's Orders
Following the results of the December 7 general election, many Ghanaians have taken to social media and other platforms to share their grievances about the Akufo-Addo-led government. From ordinary citizens to well-known celebrities, there has been widespread criticism of the administration, with many labeling its governance as poor and ineffective.
One of the voices joining the chorus of disapproval is Ghanaian rapper Medikal. The artist recently shared his own negative experiences under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, revealing that he felt unfairly treated during their tenure.
In a post, Medikal recounted an incident from a few years ago, during which he was arrested alongside fellow musician Shatta Wale. According to Medikal, the arrest was unjust and lacked any valid basis. The rapper stated that following his detention, he made significant efforts to secure his release, leveraging his connections as a public figure to appeal to influential individuals who could help his case.
However, his attempts to gain freedom proved futile. Medikal disclosed that the response he consistently received was that his arrest was "an order from above." This phrase, he claimed, was repeatedly used to justify his continued detention, implying that higher authorities in the government were behind the decision.
Medikal’s story adds to the growing criticism of the Akufo-Addo administration, which has been accused by many of being dismissive of the struggles and rights of ordinary citizens and public figures alike. The rapper’s revelation highlights how even celebrities, who are often seen as having privileges, were not spared from what some describe as oppressive tactics during the government’s rule.
The issue has sparked discussions on social media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the incident. While some have expressed sympathy for Medikal and condemned the government’s actions, others have questioned whether there was more to the story than what has been revealed.
As the public continues to reflect on the outcomes of the recent election and the broader performance of the Akufo-Addo administration, stories like Medikal’s underscore the dissatisfaction felt by many Ghanaians. Whether these grievances will lead to significant changes in governance remains to be seen, but they certainly add to the ongoing narrative of discontent with the current political leadership.
