In a recent social media interaction that has caught the attention of both music and political spheres in Ghana, internationally acclaimed Nigerian musician Davido has publicly commended Ghanaian blogger GH Hyper for his coverage during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) activities.
Davido, known for his chart-topping hits and significant influence in the Afrobeats scene, took to social media to express his admiration for GH Hyper’s work during the NDC’s political campaigns, suggesting that his efforts warrant an official appointment.
“GH Hyper did very well for the NDC. You deserve an appointment,” Davido stated, acknowledging the blogger’s dedication and effectiveness in disseminating information and rallying support for the party.
GH Hyper, a well-known figure in Ghana’s blogging community, has been instrumental in providing real-time updates and analyses on political happenings, particularly during election seasons. His work has not only shaped public opinion but also mobilized voter engagement.
This commendation from Davido, who himself has a history of political involvement in Nigeria, underscores the growing intersection between entertainment figures and political activism in West Africa. His endorsement could potentially influence political decisions, highlighting the significant role of social media influencers in modern politics.
While no immediate responses or actions have been announced by the NDC regarding Davido’s suggestion, the statement has sparked discussions on the role of influencers in political appointments and the recognition of digital media in political strategies.
This development comes on Friday, January 7th, 2025, a piece of news spread rapidly across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), claiming that Gh Hyper had been appointed as the CEO of the Gaming Commission. However, a vigilant blogger was quick to debunk this viral misinformation by sharing the graphic and clarifying that it was indeed fake.In response to this debunking, musician Davido commented on the blogger’s post, highlighting that GhHyper had played a pivotal role in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) election campaign. Davido suggested that, due to this involvement, GhHyper should have been considered for a reward, perhaps even the position in question.
