Ghanaian artiste, Samini has said he trusts the government’s to make a better judgment as far as closing the borders and curbing the spread of the coronavirus is concerned.
According to him, it would not take “action or inaction from any of us to make the government do what they need to do for international safety”.
Since the borders were closed in March restricting travels, artistes including D Black, Sarkodie and Pappy Kojo have made it known they were stuck outside Ghana.
They continuously through social media pleaded that the borders be open for them to come back home.
Their fans and a few notable people joined in to share their opinions on why they feel these artistes deserved some sort of ‘celebrity treatment’.
However, the same cannot be said of Samini who is in Canada with his family.
He has not been seen putting pressure’ on the government or asking that some leniency be extended to his colleagues stuck outside.
In an interview with Hitz FM, Andy Dosty asked Samini why he has not joined into ‘pressure’ the government.
“I just looked at it from a broader picture. I know that the government also knows exactly what they are doing and internationally government are working bases on what’s going on internationally across the board so if it is actually time for the government to open borders, I don’t think it’ll take pressure from any of us,” he stated.
He added that although “I can’t wait to get back to my regular way of doing things and my regular routine, I have always just sat back and given the government the benefit of the doubt because so far I think across Africa, we’Reid not the best, one of the people that are doing the best in managing Covid-19.”
He also believes people are talking too much instead of just trusting the government to make the right decisions.
“I believe I can trust what they’re doing so far and hope and pray that they see it necessary to open borders soon. But the talk is too much,” he said.
