He has reached this conclusion because of comments made by the former President when the New Patriotic Party proposed the policy when they were in opposition.
The musician says he is aware he will be insulted for holding this view but he has developed a thick skin against insults from Ghanaians and especially members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“If I sit aloof as a celebrity thinking about my brand and John Dramani Mahama is brought back as President, we will see that he has cancelled the Free SHS policy. That is why I am not perturbed about Yes, he has said that he will not cancel it but since NPP proposed the policy, you know what he has been saying about it since 2008,” he said on Accra-based Joy FM.
Meanwhile, John Dramani Mahama has given the surest assurance that he will not cancel free SHS. In 2020, he was on record to have said “Free Senior High School education has come to stay. If anybody tells you that I, John Dramani Mahama, son of E.A Mahama will abolish Free SHS when I come, tell the person he is a bloody liar. What I am against is the poor implementation of the free SHS which is creating great inconvenience for the parents, for the students and for the teachers and the point I have made is that we can make it better.”
“If this government had followed our plan of continuing with the 200 new Senior High Schools that we were building, we will not have the current situation that we have in our free SHS plan.”
