Radio personality, Papa Sly has finally disclosed the reason behind leaving Ghana to settle in the United States of America at a time his career in media was budding.
According to him, he started receiving threats from politicians and the best he could do to save his life then was seek assylum in another country.
The radio personality who spoke in an interview with inews Ghana said “I looked at all the horrible situations I was going through because I was tagged NPP. So I had to escape from Ghana for fear of my life. Lucky for me I had a 5-year visa in my passport so I just left the country. I was doing good in Ghana but when I realised my life was at stake I had to go leave”.
To him, his engagement with Politicians then was purely business but the Ghanaian had not come to terms with the fact that you can work for a political party without supporting their ideologies.
” Papa Kwesi Ndum organised a rally and I was called to MC. I did it and took my money. Does it make me a card bearing member of a party? When John Dramani Mahama won the 2012 elections, he had a big rally at the Trade Fair and I was the MC, does it make me an NDC?”
Recounting some attacks on him during the period in Ghana, Papa Sly revealed that his car was soiled with feacal matter.
” I remember a time people broke into my car and put faeces in it. I had several confrontations with thugs who wanted to beat me up.”
