Ghanaian film director Socrate Safo, who is a member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that he is eager to assist artists working under the current administration.
Speaking with Kwame Dadzie, an arts and culture writer on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, Safo stated that he is prepared to contribute ideas to assist mold Ghana’s creative industry, irrespective of the political government in power.
“I am happy for the creatives in the NDC. Let’s support them. I support them. I called Rex Omar and asked why he didn’t invite me to the launch of the Blackstar Experience. Because I want to help in any way, with ideas,” he said.
He also said that he had previously contacted Kafui Danku, the Executive Director of the National Film Authority, to let her know that he was willing to help her.
After expressing apparent love for President John Mahama’s support of the arts, Safo was questioned if he had any plans to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He responded no, saying, “I am NPP.”
