Ghanaian rapper Medikal has taken to his X account to share a heartfelt message directed at President-elect John Dramani Mahama. In his tweet, Medikal recounted his ordeal under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, where he was arrested and detained at Ankaful Maximum Security Prison for what he describes as “no tangible reason.”
Medikal expressed his frustration, stating that his lawyers’ attempts to communicate with authorities were met with the response, “it’s an order from above.” Despite his past experiences, Medikal conveyed a sense of cautious optimism towards the incoming president. He emphasized that while he does not trust Mahama, he believes in his potential to bring about drastic change.
The rapper urged Mahama to focus on the betterment of the youth in Ghana, highlighting the importance of creating opportunities for the younger generation. He also mentioned Sharaf Mahama, the president-elect’s son, as a mutual friend and a symbol of hope for the future.
Medikal’s message resonates with many Ghanaians who are hopeful for a new era of leadership and positive transformation under Mahama’s presidency. As the nation looks forward to this new chapter, the call for accountability and meaningful change remains strong.
