Ghana’s finest rapper Sarkodie has finally broken his silence about the trending #FixTheCountry campaign.
Sarkodie was recently called out for his failure to support the campaign and also his silence on the ill governance in the country.
Some Ghanaians were of the view that the rapper is among the few celebrities whose voice have been bought by the government, thus, they have nothing to say about the ongoing campaign.
Breaking his silence in a lengthy post on social media, the Sarkcess Music boss revealed he has always thrown his weight behind the #FixTheCountry agenda since the beginning of his career through his music.
According to him, he supports both the #FixTheCountry and the #FixYourself crusade. However, he said that the government has the larger part of the responsibility because the citizens can only fix themselves if the system is fixed.
Read his full statement below:
”I’ve always supported #FixtheCountry agenda since beginning of my career through my music. I know they (politicians and political party followers) intentionally politicize my opinion (even when they know it’s the truth) to save their party, thinking I’m attacking a particular party.
I don’t explain myself because people with political ears and eyes will never accept it and try to attack My submission and that has been our biggest problem as a country and that’s one of the main reasons why we are stagnant. We all play a role in building our nation so I support both the #FixTheCountry (to the leaders) and #FixYourself (citizens) but at this point, leaders (government) has more to do for citizens to fix themselves.
It takes exceptionally discipline people to try and live right in an all messed up system that frustrates your day to day activities. If you fix the system then you can blame the people 100% for not fixing themselves and that’s why you are leaders. Fixing the country automatically fixes the people … God bless my country Ghana”
