Stonebwoy gunning for Ashaiman MP position
During an exclusive interview on Asempa FM, Stonebwoy spoke about music being his main priority.
The dancehall musician, however, sees the two professions — music and politics — as interweavable, and as such, he would gladly make the transition only if he were not restricted from releasing music for commercial purposes.
"If the Ashaiman people say I can do the job, it is for every four years. I would state my vision and, looking at things, it is Ashaiman I can stand for," he said.
The Overlord hitmaker mentioned that in the event circumstances don't allow him to stand as an MP for Ashaiman, he would opt to represent his mother's hometown, Alakple.
He added that if Alakple does not work out, he would try his father's hometown, Anloga, where he believes he stands quite a good chance of winning the MP elective seat.
"When I win, I will liaise with companies and work on projects such as poultry farms, speak to the chiefs at Ashaiman and acquire land. Talk is cheap but we can do it," he said.
