On a lively episode of U Cook hosted by gospel singer Empress Gifty, outspoken entertainment pundit and artist manager Bulldog, born Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, did not mince words about his political allegiance.
In the interview monitored by MyNewsGH, Bulldog openly declared his unwavering support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) while offering a scathing critique of the previous administration under Nana Akufo-Addo, describing it as “one of the most ineffective in history.”
When Empress Gifty probed into his consistent criticism of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the show, Bulldog explained his position with characteristic candour.
“It’s not about being bitter or having a personal vendetta,” he began.
“I support the NDC because, under Mahama’s leadership, we saw tangible results—solid infrastructure, good policies, and genuine progress.”
In defending his stance, Bulldog brought up the contentious debate around the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy, which the NPP often touts as a cornerstone of its legacy.
“Let’s set the record straight,” he asserted. “The Free SHS initiative didn’t originate with the NPP. Mahama laid the groundwork before leaving office. They only implemented it, but the credit goes to the NDC.”
Bulldog’s pointed remarks didn’t stop there. Responding to Empress Gifty’s question about whether he was financially motivated to align with the NDC, he dismissed the idea with a laugh.
“I don’t need anyone to pay me to speak the truth,” he said. “I support the NDC because they deliver results, not because of money.”
The conversation took a reflective turn as Bulldog underscored his belief in political accountability. “Ghanaians deserve better. It’s not about being loyal to a party blindly. It’s about who is doing the real work,” he noted.
