Many Ghanaians love their political parties more than the nation - Kofi Kinaata

Ghanaian musician, Kofi Kinaata, has lamented how many Ghanaians have allowed political affiliations to overshadow their love for the nation.

As reported by Graphic Showbiz, Kofi Kinaata, in a recent interview, observed that many Ghanaians refrain from speaking up about pressing national issues for fear of political backlash.

“Over the years, we have been sweet-talked to by politicians in this country but nothing happens and there is no change. For me, I’ve given up. Besides, the people are making things difficult so we cannot address issues.

"Someone thinks he is for party A so if whatever you’re saying goes against party A, he won't listen. Someone else will say he is for party B so even if he’s dying, he will still stand for his party. People tend to love their party more than the country. That is why everything is in a mess,” he said.

Kinaata further clarified that he has no aspirations to enter the political arena despite being approached by some political parties.

His comments come during his media tour to promote his upcoming album; ‘Kofi O Kofi,’ which will be released at the end of April 2024.

The album will comprise seven tracks, including his recently released single "Effiekuma Heartbreak". Other tracks will include Auntie Ama, Abonsam Ye Me Neighbor (Abonsam), Saman Aba Wo Fie (Saman), I Don't Care and Take Away.
