Ghanaian filmmaker Socrate Safo, also a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has confessed his admiration for the NDC, stating that the party appreciates players in the creative industry more than the NPP does.
Safo, who was speaking in an interview with Joy FM’s Kwame Dadzie, appeared so sure of his statement, indicating that he did not fear what his folks in the NPP would say.
He had earlier said he was jealous of his colleagues in the creative industry serving in the NDC government, and he still maintains that stance.
When asked by the interviewer if he did not get a call from the NPP showing his disaffection for his statement, Safo said not everyone would understand his comment, and that people must come clean.
He said:
“Not everybody understands. Some do, some don’t. And in politics, there are some people…who takes everything you say as negative. But, we must come clean.”
Socrate Safo thus expressed his willingness to be on board to offer rich ideas to the creative industry, and disclosed that he had already tried to make contact with some heads of creative institutions.
According to the former Director for Creative Arts at the National Commission on Culture, he called Rex Omar, Presidential Staffer for Black Star Experience, to ask why he was not invited to the Black Star experience, because he had ideas to share.
“I called Kafui Danku and told her the challenges of the industry,” he added.
Despite his admiration for the NDC government, Socrate Safo said he is not interested in being an NDC member, affirming his current status as an NPP member.
