Ghanaian Afrobeats/Highlife singer Kelvyn Boy has joined the #FreeTheCitizens movement on social media, calling Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to intervene in the arrests of individuals involved in recent protests.
He argued that failing to do so could harm the NPP’s chances in the upcoming 7th December presidential elections. “Your time to make a difference is now! #FreetheCitizens,” he tweeted on 25th September, directly addressing Dr. Bawumia.
The singer also criticised the government’s handling of the situation, suggesting it would negatively affect their candidate’s campaign. “This government led by Nana Addo is making it more and more difficult for their next candidate to win in December. Where did citizens go wrong?” he asserted.
