American-born Senegalese superstar Akon says he will venture into politics when he calls time on his music career.
Akon, was speaking in an interview with Joy News in Ghana. The multiple-award-winning artiste is one of several global superstars in the country to commemorate Year of Return.
According to him, he thought politics wasn’t for everyone and that he told himself he was never going to do politics.
He, however, said that the more he got involved in politics, talking to other presidents, the more he realised how much the energy of people like him is needed in politics.
“A lot of things we want to change, a lot of things we want to happen differently but it can’t happen if we are not in there or part of making that change,” he stated.
“You have got to be in the politics, you have got to be in the room when decisions are being made to make a difference so I realised that. I think my future priority will be politics eventually,” he added.
