Blakk Rasta has asked President Nana Akufo-Addo to retire.
According to the reggae artiste and radio personality, the president who turned 77 on March 29, 2021, is tired and needs to bow out for a younger and smarter person to spearhead the affairs of the country.

Blakk Rasta slammed the president for retiring people more than a decade younger than him while continuing to sleep “unprovoked” during functions due to tired limbs.
“[At] 77 years, you are retiring some people who are 17, 18 years your juniors,” he said of the president.
The president’s commitment and credibility to fighting corruption were recently under intense scrutiny following the forced retirement of Auditor General, Daniel Domelevo.
Domelevo was ordered to go on retirement by the president after the Board of the Audit Service challenged the authenticity of his date of birth and ‘Ghanaian-ness’.
“Who has more tired limbs than the sleeping President Nana Akufo-Addo? He is a president who sleeps unprovoked,” Blakk Rasta told Accra-based Class FM and monitored by YEN.com.gh.
