Ghanaian musician and broadcaster Blakk Rasta said in a recent interview on Joy FM that he was planning on an exit from the country before the election.
According to him, while awaiting the outcome of the election, he needed a better alternative to live his life so he travelled abroad to facilitate that process.
He told Kwame Dadzie on Showbiz A-Z that in the event that the NPP had retained power, he would not have stayed in the country any longer.
“We’re just looking for change and change is here. I was so fed up. I told everybody that should these guys win the election again, I would be out of this country.
A month before the election I was out of the country. I was in Jamaica, I was in America and some other places just planning a very fluid exit should they win,” he said.
He added that just as Nigerian author Wole Soyinka vowed to destroy his American passport if Donald Trump won his first election, he [Blakk Rasta] would have stuck to his words by relocating from Ghana.
According to Blakk Rasta, the NPP has plunged the country into very austere situations and Ghana needed a break from the government.
