Our investments are running into losses – Saminin laments

Ghanaian Reggae/Dancehall musician Emmanuel Andrews Samini, popularly known as Samini Dagaati, has joined the long list of artistes who have expressed worry over the state of the economy.

The musician, in a Facebook post yesterday, Sunday, October 23, stated that he believed in President Akufo-Addo’s vision and concept of change but indicated that he was also worried about the remaining two years before elections in 2024.

“But two years to go as President, my soul bleeds,” he wrote in the post.

“Our investments wash away daily as the dollar openly whips our Cedi. Your people are crying. We cannot pretend all is well,” he stated in the post.

He admitted his support for President Akufo-Addo but added that investments are not yielding profits as a result of the rapid depreciation of the Cedi.

Samini revealed that notwithstanding the current state of the economy, he is hopeful that Ghana would overcome the prevailing economic crisis since it’s blessed with the ability to confront problems head-on.

“But if God has blessed Ghana with anything, it is our ability to stare difficulty right in the face and say, it will be alright,” he continued.

Samini then urged Ghanaians to keep their faith, be hopeful and pray for a better Ghana.

“We go keep hope alive and continue to soldier on. What’s a man without hope? We can only continue to pray for a better tomorrow. To all my ‘high graders’ out there, I say it again, we will be alright,” he said.

Samini has been a loyal supporter of President Akufo-Addo, especially during his re-election in 2020.

He composed songs and accompanied the President on his campaign trips to support his good work.
