Popular Kumawood Actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as Lilwin, has revealed why he is not aligned to any political party.
Speaking on Oyerepa TV’s entertainment show, Lilwin disclosed that former President John Dramani Mahama advised him against getting involved in politics and he has respected his counsel.
“I don’t do politics. I decided not to do politics because I had a dream to establish a school and have it serve people affiliated with the NDC, NPP, and other parties.
During the campaign session in 2016, I met members from both the NDC and the NPP. The person who fueled my decision not to accept any amount to campaign for a political party is ex-President John Mahama. He said I’ve realized that many celebrities are campaigning for political parties, but I called you here not because of the campaign. You are young with blessings; what is ahead of you in the future is a lot.
He continued that; “Mahama said I should allow them to do their politics, and I should stay away from it. Because NPP likes you and I also like you, I can give you a huge amount of money to campaign for me. If NPP pays $2 million, I can multiply it four times. But that is nothing; I can’t destroy your career, so stay away.”
“Mahama did not come to me again for the campaign. He came to encourage me and advise me not to abandon the movie job. He said I am not an artist who depends on others for money and should continue. He even asked me to share copies of my new film, ‘Mr. President’ with the leaders of this country, including him.” He asserted.
The actor’s new movie titled ‘Mr. President,’ will be premiered on August 26, 2023, at the Royal View Cinema at SG Mall in Kumasi.
