Lil Win's plea to President Mahama
Lil Win took to his Instagram account to share a video of his plea to President Mahama, and to also make it public for all Ghanaians to see.
"As I stand here, just know that the Ghana flag is behind me because Ghana is the country I come from. This was where I was born, and this is where I grew up. This is where I schooled," he said in the introduction of his video, after observing protocols.
In the video, he pleaded with the President, all his ministers and those who work under him to come together and work to ensure the safety of all Ghanaian celebrities.
The Kumawood star noted that it was about time that the country's leader put all necessary measures in place for the entertainment industry.
"Every country has celebrities whom they value because it is through them that the country progresses," he said.
Sharing reasons for his plea, Lil Win noted that every country has celebrities, and these celebrities are instrumental in the development of the country.
In the same video, he pleaded with President Mahama to enforce a law where only Ghanaian movies and songs were played.
