Over the years, some Ghanaians have tagged the Jailer hitmaker as a closeted New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporter after referencing former president Akufo-Addo on his Happy Day collaboration with singer Kuami Eugene before the 2020 general elections.

Sarkodie was constantly criticised for being silent and not speaking out on issues during Akufo-Addo's tenure. He had previously been vocal about the corruption and energy crisis during John Mahama's first presidential tenure from 2012 to 2016.

John Mahama sworn in as President

John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as the 14th President of Ghana along with his history-making Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, at Black Star Square in Accra.

In a remarkable political comeback, the President secured a landslide victory in the December 7 presidential elections over the New Patriotic Party's candidate and former vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Many Ghanaians attended the star-studded event, trooping to the venue and sleeping there in anticipation of the inauguration.
