Multiple award-winning dancehall artiste Samini has expressed satisfaction with Ghana’s current leadership direction under President John Mahama, particularly the bold steps being taken by the judiciary to hold public officials accountable.

Appearing on the maiden edition of PrimeTime with George Quaye on Joy Prime, the outspoken musician praised what he sees as a shift toward transparency and justice in public service.

“As I speak to you currently, what we are seeing… I’m a happy Ghanaian,” Samini declared.
“I like the fact that people are being brought to book and justice is being served — or it seems like justice is going to be served. Things like that, I am for.”

While Ghana’s political landscape is often divided along party lines, Samini made it clear that his views are grounded in values, not partisanship.

“I won’t sit here and be walking on eggshells because I think that maybe a certain favourite of mine might be in trouble,” he said.
“I believe that if you are put in public office, it’s your responsibility to serve Ghana and keep the public purse at heart. If you come and do anything dubious, you should be brought to book. I like that. Things like that, we like to see.”

Host George Quaye asked him directly whether he believes President Mahama and the NDC government are doing a good job. Samini responded:

“The President and judicial system are doing a good job so far. That’s the area I’ve seen a lot of action. Anything else, I think, is too early to throw too much light on.”

Though known for his socially conscious lyrics, Samini has rarely made such pointed political remarks publicly. His comments on PrimeTime signaled a growing willingness to speak up on issues of integrity and governance.

He also made it clear that he is open to supporting any political party that shows promise.

“If the New Force political party comes out with policies that make me believe they stand a chance of giving us the best when it comes to governance and leadership, I’ll definitely go for that,” he stated.

For now, the “Linda” hitmaker says he is encouraged by the current wave of accountability.

“We like to see people get called out for what they’ve done wrong. That’s how we build a better Ghana.”
