I have received threats for bashing government — Prince David Osei

If asked for the name of one person likely to publicly criticise President Akufo-Addo and his New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, actor Prince David Osei would have been farthest from anyone’s mind.

This is because the actor who was an astute promoter of NPP’s ‘4 More To Do More’ campaign in the last general elections has in the last few weeks been on “fire” – giving it back to back to the government for the country’s current economic distress.

His outspokenness, however, seems to come with a price he is paying by receiving threats.

“I have experienced my fair share of threats, insults, trolls and attacks, but I am unperturbed because seriously, I can’t control how people feel about me,” he told Graphic Showbiz in an interview.

According to the actor, there is always a price to pay for an act one indulges in and he is ready for that.

“God is with me in all that I do, so I shall not be moved. In life, you need to stand for something or you fall for anything,” he said.

Prince David Osei noted he has always been enthusiastic about good governance and had been calling out successive governments since late President Atta Mills’ administration.

“I am not someone who is easily pressured. I live by my own rules. I believe in integrity and value for humanity. I have always been outspoken since the era of the late President Atta Mills. I am first a citizen, before a party lover and an aspiring politician.”

“I stood on political platforms to campaign for my party NPP and H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, pleaded, persuaded, convinced Ghanaians to accept NPP’s 4 More To Do More, so it is just rational to speak for the same people when things aren’t going the way we all anticipated amid global economic issues,” he added.
