He wrote on Facebook: “In 2008, Nana Addo had massive celebrity endorsements including Daddy Lumba (the greatest of all time) In 2016, John Mahama had massive celebrity endorsements including Shatta Wale (the biggest artiste then)
“We all know what happened in those years. Nobody should get complacent. Both parties should work hard and sell their message. The Ghanaian today, votes on issues, not celebrity endorsements. End of public announcement. Ok bye #youthprez #ServiceToGodAndCountry #emancipationmovement.”
