I would think twice before endorsing a political party again – Adjetey Anang
Renowned Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang, affectionately known as ‘Pusher,’ has sparked intrigue and curiosity with his recent interview.
In his book, ‘Adjetey Anang: A Story of Faith, Imperfection, and Resilience,’ he candidly revealed that he once turned down an alluring offer from a ruling party seeking his endorsement for their presidential candidate.
However, the actor has now hinted that he might have a different perspective on such opportunities if they were presented to him in present times.
During the interview, Adjetey Anang expressed that the political climate has evolved, and as a society, they have become more accepting of individuals openly endorsing political parties.
He noted that Ghana has come a long way, but it still maintains a certain level of sensitivity compared to countries like the United States when it comes to celebrity endorsements in politics.
While the actor did not specify the exact year of the offer he turned down, he did disclose that it occurred during a period when he was facing financial challenges. At that time, the ruling party had enticed him with attractive incentives, such as a car, a generous sum of $50,000, and various other perks, in exchange for his public support of their campaign.
The public’s response to Anang’s candid reflection in his book has been overwhelmingly positive, as it sheds light on the inner struggles and difficult decisions that celebrities like him may encounter when approached by political parties seeking their endorsement.
In his recent remarks during the interview, Adjetey Anang suggested that considering the present day and with certain factors taken into account, he might now be open to considering a political offer. While he did not elaborate on the specific considerations, it is evident that the actor has kept an open mind about potentially engaging in such opportunities.
Anang’s ability to share his journey and vulnerability in his book has endeared him even more to the public and his fans, who admire his faith, imperfections, and resilience. As an influential figure in Ghana, his contemplative stance on political endorsements has sparked discussions and raised curiosity about what the future may hold for this beloved actor.
