- The seasoned musician quoted a tweet asking which leader would be the best for Ghana and said none of them would be of any help to the country
- The musician's comments sparked anger from many Ghanaians, who felt he was absolving the leadership of the country of all blame
Renowned Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame has encouraged his fellow citizens to focus on self-improvement rather than placing the burden of national development solely on politicians.
The musician's message comes at a time when political discourse and expectations are running high amidst the #occupyjulorbihouse demonstration, telling Ghanaians that lasting change begins with individual efforts.
Responding to a question about which political leader would be the best choice for Ghana's future, Okyeame Kwame asserted that no single leader, no matter how capable, can single-handedly fix all of the country's challenges. In his tweet, he declared,
You, Naa, you will fix the country. Starting with your health, then mindset, then your family, then your work.

Okyeame Kwame's perspective advocates for a shift in mindset among Ghanaians, which did not sit right with many of them.
The musician said he believes that the collective impact would improve the nation if each citizen takes responsibility for improving their health, nurturing positive attitudes, strengthening their families, and excelling in their professions.
Many Ghanaians expressed frustration with the musician's sentiments, believing that his remarks exonerated the political leadership from accountability for the country's challenges.
