That is why my Shata Movement is the biggest fan base in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is my dream, that one day I would have to help to change Ghana. So if Ghanaians are listening to me, you start encouraging me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shatta Wale said that he believes he can leave behind his life as an artist and pursue politics with the right support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the next four years, I\u2019ll be 40 plus. So I\u2019m qualified to be a candidate or a man who can run a country. So if people can understand me from that direction, we can stand in politics. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n<p>He called out people using their positions of power and privilege to exert command over others, noting that some of these actions have been seen as normal in recent times.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16008\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SHATTA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"526\" height=\"526\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Shatta Wale also bemoaned the lack of development in the country and firmly believes that with the right people who have Ghana\u2019s interest at hand, he can make a change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitics is not about you coming to speak the big grammar. Ghana is not a big grammar country. We speak local languages. I just need heads So sometimes when I\u2019m talking about developments, I\u2019m talking about how we can come together and build this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to be equal. You can\u2019t go and infringe on anybody\u2019s rights. So we have to try and learn how to come together. That\u2019s what I\u2019m saying. My vision for this country and for the youth of Ghana is that let\u2019s learn how to come together, so we can build this country ourselves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has expressed his readiness to stand for president in a few years.
