Prior to the 2020 elections, the Basic 2 student had campaigned for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a video, Bantama MP Francis Assenso-Boakye delivered an undisclosed sum of money and a tablet to Adobea, an 8-year-old Basic 2 student who was shown criticizing the Akufo-Addo-led administration.
Prior to the 2020 elections, the Basic 2 student ran for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
However, the small girl was seen criticizing the government for neglecting her after she campaigned for the NPP to win the elections in a recent video that went viral.
The Bantama Member of Parliament praised the young girl for campaigning for him and his party.
He did, however, warn the girl’s parents and other parents against forcing their children into politics at such a young age.
He pointed out that bringing a minor into politics at such a young age could have long-term consequences for them.
He went on to say that the President had already taken steps to safeguard Adobea’s education and that of other Ghanaian youngsters through interventions in the country’s educational sector.
Kwabena Addo and Madam Akosua Serwa, the small girl’s parents, pleaded with the NPP-led government to pardon their daughter for the video criticizing them.
