In an interview with HitzFM, Samini stated why he campaigned for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Akufo-Addo during the 2020 elections because he wanted a continuation of the manifesto.

The My Own hitmaker stated that he is disappointed in the incumbent government because Akufo-Addo's manifesto was what compelled him and his other colleagues to join the campaign train.

"Things like free SHS, one district one dam (1D1D), one district one factory (1D1F) for the farmers. I was more interested about the factories because I come from the North and the numbers we have over there if you have factories that can employ people," he said.

He stated not enough effort has been put into the music industry compared to what was sold to him during the 2020 campaign.

Chale, I've been Samini a fan for so many years, but in his recent interviews, hmmm, I feel he should just promote his craft rather than answering all these questions; just ignore them, la hm.

So, will the NPP people go to HitzFM and ask for representation on this show? Because this is also an entertainment show, but they are discussing politics.
