The Ghanaian gospel artist, Hermon Cyrus Kwesi Nhyira Oteng, known as Cwesi Oteng, was one of few celebrities who threw their weight behind president Akufo-Addo in his bid to attain a second term in office.
The God Dey Bless hitmaker was among the tall list of those celebrities.
However, in an interview, Cwesi Oteng pointed out that he somehow regrets the decision.
“Openly declaring my support for a political party came with some regrets. I thought Free SHS was something to commend but it ended up being crap in people’s eyes.”
The award-winning gospel musician added that he is also going through difficult times as most Ghanaians because of the country’s worsening economic situation.
“I am going through hard times. Very difficult times. I won’t say the government has failed but I think things can be done better. People are saying exactly what they are feeling. They are going through the situation. They are not trees.”
Even though he had expressed support for the E-Levy, a tax that continues to generate mixed reactions among the Ghanaian populace.
He added that he feels happy whenever he is taxed by his service provider. He was asked in an interview if he wasn’t compensated for showing support to the incumbent government, and he said no. According to him, the only thing he has is access to the President and nothing more.
