“These accomplished personalities from creative sector are not being influenced by money to declare their endorsement: they strongly believe in the president and understand clearly that he will do better job for the country and the arts when voted into power,” Mr. Inusah emphasized.

Most of the personalities endorsing the president have already been assigned roles in the president’s campaign and are already pursing their functions as the president intensifies his campaign across the country.
