Ghanaian highlife artist Joseph Nkrumah Buabeng, better known as Nero X, has publicly endorsed the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Nero X expressed his bewilderment at the criticism and mistreatment people face for their political choices. He remarked,
“I don’t see why people should be criticised and mistreated for their political choices.” My support for John Mahama is because I believe he is the right person to lead the country, and this has no bearing on my future career.”
Shifting from his personal stance, Nero X highlighted examples of other artists who have prospered despite their political affiliations. He said
“Daddy Lumba is living his best life, even though he campaigned for the NPP in the past, and Mr. Beautiful is also doing well after supporting the NDC and Mahama.”
These statements follow the musician’s release of a campaign song titled “Mahama for 2024.”
