The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said he is convinced that American rapper Meek Mill has been sincere in his apology to Ghanaians after his video shoot.
In a Facebook post sighted by Apexnewsgh.com, the North Tongu MP extended his call on Ghanaians to forgive the rapper, who has been under heavy criticism for sharing snippets of a music video with shots from Ghana’s presidency.
“It does appear Meek Mill’s multiple apologies to Ghanaians are quite sincere & should be accepted by all.
My only serious reservation, however, is his claim that he engaged in all that deplorable desecration & major security breach on the blind side of officials.
Is the President safe?
Is Ghana safe?
This has, without a scintilla of doubt, further justified earlier demands for urgent investigations & severe sanctions”.
“To the people of Ghana no video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana …. The fastest way to make connection is thru music and I wanted to do that with displaying art … im in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle here,” his first apology shared in a series of tweets on Monday, January 9, 2023 said.
“My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the the office also!”.
He further added, “I don’t think they knew it was video footage when we asked to shoot its a small camera and one kid … in America we didn’t know this existed and was excited to show because they don’t show Ghana on our media much! So I’ll take responsibility for my mistake! Not intentional,”.
