“Elections conducted on bribery SHOULD always end in a loss. #GhanaDecides. BUT, my Jonivi did so well that, it will keep the MP on her toes to WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. Congratulations @johndumelo1”.

“Politicians need to stop taking voters for granted. You can’t bribe folks with laptop and when you win, your kid goes to Harvard and the voters kids struggle for desks and jobs”.

Let see you history in serving in the movie industry

Leila, 2009 worldFest Platinum Award receiver charged the actor to re-start his leadership journey by first making an impact in the movie sector which he represent then he could come back better resourced for the position he wish to handling.

The Sinking Sands filmmaker described as disrespectful the bribing of voters among others all in the name of votes by politicians adding that Ghanaians were becoming more descending hence the need for them to know better.

“Guys, If you desire politics in your future, start NOW where ever you are. Cultivate a habit of serving and leading initiatives. Don’t wake up one morning and start bribing, braiding, pounding and bonding cos you want votes. That’s disrespectful to the people. Start now! Brighten the corner where you are. Politicians need to stop taking voters for granted” she added.
