Award-winning dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has called on Ghanaian youth to support the current government, led by President John Dramani Mahama, highlighting its potential to improve their lives through impactful policies and programmes.
Speaking during his performance at the 2025 GHALCA President’s Cup held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, July 6, Shatta Wale expressed confidence in the Mahama administration’s ability to transform the fortunes of the youth.
“From now till the next election, support this government. If you are a youth and you want to see money in your pocket, then support this government because it has come to put money in your pocket,” he told the crowd.
In a separate message shared on his Facebook page, the musician praised the President, stating: “The man who rewards your hard work with a smile and can also terminate your contract if you don’t deliver. Good evening Mr President. We’re grateful for your commitment to empowering the youth and making us part of your vision.”
He also acknowledged the Ministry of Youth and Sports for including his fanbase in the national celebration: “Thanks to the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama for this great honour, and to the Ministry of Youth and Sports for making the Shatta Movement Empire / Gaza part of this historic celebration.”
Shatta Wale’s energetic performance added excitement to the event, which saw Kumasi Asante Kotoko stage a dramatic comeback to defeat Accra Hearts of Oak 2–1 in a thrilling encounter. President Mahama was in attendance to witness the game.
Kotoko scored twice early in the second half to overturn Hearts’ first-half lead, delivering another memorable chapter in Ghana’s biggest football rivalry.
