Things will change if John Mahama becomes President- Kafui Danku
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.
