Popular dancehall artist and entrepreneur Shatta Wale has emerged as a vocal advocate for the current government’s efforts to uplift Ghana’s youth through various economic empowerment initiatives.
Speaking during his electrifying performance at the President’s Cup held at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 6, 2025, Shatta Wale encouraged young Ghanaians to support President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, emphasizing that the government’s programs are designed to enhance youth livelihoods and create tangible financial opportunities.
“From now till the next election, support this government,” Shatta Wale urged the crowd. “If you are a youth and want to see money in your pocket, then back this government because it has come to put money in your pocket.”
His message reflects a growing call for collaboration between government and influential youth figures to boost public confidence in national development plans.
In a social media post, the artiste further praised President Mahama’s leadership style, highlighting the balance of rewarding hard work and ensuring accountability. “The man who rewards your hard work with a smile and can also terminate your contract if you don’t deliver,” Shatta Wale wrote. “Good evening Mr. President. We’re grateful for your commitment to empowering the youth and making us part of your vision.”
By aligning his platform with the government’s youth empowerment agenda, Shatta Wale is lending his voice to mobilize young people around policies aimed at economic inclusion and prosperity.
