He not only addressed the difficulties people face in making ends meet amidst daily price hikes but also acknowledged the impact on his own life despite his successful career.

While he enjoys financial stability, he empathetically recognized the struggles faced by his family, friends, and fans, urging the government to take more significant steps to improve the overall economic and living conditions in the country.
He emphasized the pervasive nature of complaints, stating, “I know that the government can do better to make citizens in the country very happy. Because the complaints be too much. Everybody dey complain.”

So why today afor buy 1500gh before I get a full tank? In a way me sef I still dey feel am, and this be me somebody wey dey get something wey dey give me stable income so imagine the person wey edey struggle maybe edey take 1000gh a month. Efor pay ein bills …Edey suffer.”
His remarks highlighted the bigger economic problems in Ghana, urging the government to step in and help people facing difficulties in their daily lives.
