Ghanaian actress, Kafui Danku has expressed strong optimism in the leadership of John Mahama to turn things around for Ghanaians and the movie industry when voted as President.
According to her she is feeling the hardship, but optimistic that when John Mahama becomes President, things will change for the better.
Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM’s Doreen Avio, she said, the issue of funding, distribution among others remains the bane of the movie industry, but has worsened under this government.
“Let’s get back to work, still do our part and try to step harder to see if something will change, I am still hopeful it will get better, especially when my party wins, when the NDC comes back to power,” she said.
On whether she supports the NDC, Kafui Danku revealed that “Yes I am an NDC, I have been following John Mahama’s campaign, campaign and seen how he is passionate about our industry. I have heard him on how he can’t wait for us to enjoy 5G so we can create our content.”
Kafui Danku further added that John Mahama has plans for the movie industry, adding that “I am sure you have seen in the news where he has been supporting some old actors, you can tell he has passion for arts and the people who paved the way. I know definitely that when is back in power he is going to do something to make it better.”
The actress said she has experienced high inflation making life unbearable for the citizens.
She further added that Mahama’s 24hrs economy policy is something which could be a game changer and create more jobs for Ghanaians.
“This would lead to a robust economy with a better exchange rate, and the cost of living would become better,” she concluded.

In the ever-evolving journey of Ghanaian music, there are individuals whose contributions transcend the spotligh.
There are always men and women who work quietly yet powerfully to preserve culture, nurture legends, and keep the soul of the music alive across generations and borders.
One such figures is Jerry Amoah, widely known and affectionately called Nana Kobo.
This year, Ghana Music Awards-USA honours Jerry Amoah for his unwavering commitment to sustaining Ghanaian music, both at home and in the diaspora.
It is a recognition long deserved, a celebration of decades of passion, sacrifice, and cultural stewardship.
Jerry Amoah’s journey has never been about personal glory. Instead, it has been anchored in service: promoting Ghanaian sounds, advocating for artistes, and ensuring that the richness of Ghana’s musical heritage continues to resonate beyond national borders.
Through his tireless efforts, many Ghanaian musicians have found platforms, audiences, and renewed relevance, especially within Ghanaian communities abroad.
Central to his legacy is his steadfast support for gospel music and, in particular, his enduring association with legendary gospel icon Yaw Sarpong.
At times when gospel music needed champions, Jerry Amoah stood firm—protecting its values, amplifying its message, and honoring its pioneers. His respect for Yaw Sarpong is not merely professional; it reflects a deep appreciation for music as ministry, heritage, and moral compass.
Colleagues often describe Nana Kobo as a bridge—connecting generations, genres, and geographies.
He understands that Ghanaian music is not just entertainment, but identity. Through festivals, promotions, mentorship, and behind-the-scenes advocacy, he has helped ensure that Ghana’s rhythms, lyrics, and spiritual expressions remain relevant in a globalized world.
As Ghana Music Awards-USA prepares to bestow this honour, it is not simply recognizing one man—it is saluting a lifetime of dedication to culture, faith, and music.
Jerry Amoah’s story reminds us that true impact is measured not by applause, but by legacy.
And in the story of Ghanaian music, Nana Kobo’s legacy is written in bold, enduring notes.
