“Social media is important to me and I know that not all of them are voters in the constituency but I understand it and I am using it positively because non-constituents can influence their friends through what they see and read,” he bragged.
In an interview with Captain Smart on Adom FM today, the actor turned politician averred that the attacks over his social media politics do not scare him.
“Our kind of politics in Ghana is not very different from politics outside, and for me I am used to fake stories in the media and have grown a tough skin so when something comes, I keep quiet since the more you talk, the more people create loopholes in your story,” he said.
John also added that there is no way he could do away with the universities in his constituency because they form a huge part of the electorates. He did not rule out the fact that his constant support to the students in the Universities were for votes.
“What they mainly want is how I can help them personally, and that’s why I started the scholarship scheme in 2013 not only in Legon but GIMPA, UPSA and they are all saying they are behind me and will voting for me,” he said happily.
