Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian Hip-Hop artiste, Jason Gaisie, known as Pappy Kojo has explained why he took part in the #OccupyJubileeHouse protests, saying it was more of a show of support for his Ghanaian friends than a personal statement.
Speaking about this in an interview with TV3’s New Day program, Pappy Kojo hinted that he was just attending the protest to support his friends because, due to his Italian ancestry, he was immune to the sufferings in Ghana.
“I’m an Italian. I’m from Italy… The Italian embassy is like my second home when I’m in Ghana, so I just went there for my Ghanaian friends. I’m a loyal friend,” he said.
When asked if he achieved the aim for which he attended the protest, Pappy Kojo affirmed, stating, “Yeah, I think I did enough. Because I remember when, during the lockdown, when I was stuck in Italy, no one was protesting for me, right? Yeah. So I feel like I did enough,”
The three-day #OccupyJubileeHouse protest organised from September 21 to 23 saw scores of youth gather to voice their frustrations over rising costs of living and the economic crisis gripping the country. Protesters also cited issues like poor healthcare, human rights abuses, and the controversial anti-LGBTQ bill tabled in Parliament.
