Comedian Michael Blackson has clarified his stance on Ghanaian politics after being tagged as a supporter of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) due to the public criticisms of the government regarding the loss of his $1 million Eurobond losses.
Blackson took to social media to dismiss the claims, asserting that he has no involvement in politics or allegiance to any political party.
“As an entertainer, I don’t get into politics or pick sides,” Blackson stated, addressing the rumors.
He acknowledges Ghana’s upcoming election and expresses hope that a “God-fearing person” would be chosen to lead the country and “do the right thing.”
However, he remaines clear that his criticisms stemmed from his personal experience rather than any political motive.
The comedian went further and highlight the broader issue of investment challenges in Africa, explaining that incidents like the loss of his investment make it difficult for potential investors to feel confident about doing business on the continent.
“Because of what happened to me and many other people, it will be very hard for anyone to invest in our continent,” he noted.
Despite his frustrations, Blackson emphasized that Ghana still holds a special place in his heart, but he no longer sees it as a viable location for business.
“Ghana will be a place of enjoyment to me, not a place of business,” he concluded, making it clear that his future dealings with the country would be more personal than professional.
As an entertainer I don’t get into politics or pick sides, I know Ghana 🇬🇭 has an election in a couple of months. Hopefully we select a God fearing person that will do the right thing.
