In a video shared online, Shatta Wale was seen driving on a dark street as he headed towards the Kotoka International Airport road in Accra.
The SM Boss expressed his disappointment and concern over the lack of working streetlights, which are essential for ensuring safety on Accra’s roads at night.
He also criticised Ghanaian citizens for following political leaders who, according to him, have deceived the public and failed to fulfil their promises during their time in office.
“See Accra. There are no lights in this whole place. People will tell you they have leaders. The leaders will come and make promises, but because the majority of us do not know God, we just sit there and follow them. We are in a darkness country. There are no working streetlights in Accra,” Shatta Wale remarked.
Bemused by the situation, Shatta Wale compared Accra to a village, noting that the malfunctioning streetlights make it difficult to drive safely at night without encountering issues.
His complaints sparked mixed reactions from fans on social media.
Many agreed with his sentiments and praised him for voicing his frustration, while others questioned his own contributions to the development of the country.
