John Boadu hints at recruiting Shatta Wale for NPP: ‘We need his influence to win’
Former NPP General Secretary John Boadu advocates leveraging popular culture to engage young voters, specifically suggesting involving dancehall artist Shatta Wale in the party's outreach. Speaking on JoyNews, Boadu emphasized the growing importance of connecting with youth, who will form a large portion of the electorate by 2028. He envisions Shatta Wale subtly conveying NPP messages through existing channels, rather than traditional rallies. Boadu acknowledged the NPP's past use of music in campaigns was insufficient, and urged a more robust strategy of nurturing youth through genuine inclusion and meeting them on their own platforms, an approach he argues the NDC has successfully employed.
