No Kumawood Actor has been appointed by President Mahama due to lower education – Otele
Kumawood actor Oteele has expressed concern over the lack of political appointments for his colleagues under President Mahama’s administration, suggesting that limited formal education may be a major reason.
Oteele suggested that the perceived lack of formal education among Kumawood talents might be a significant reason for their exclusion. He implied that without higher education, many are overlooked for political or administrative roles.
“Education plays a major role when it comes to Kumasi people. They need to pursue higher education to qualify for appointments so they don’t become square pegs in round holes”
To support his claim, Oteele referenced media personalities and actors such as Abeiku Santana and James Gardiner, who have reportedly received appointments, crediting their educational background and broader industry exposure.
“Look at Abeiku Santana and Kafui Danku and the positions they’ve been given. It shows that if you have the qualifications, President Mahama will make you a better version of yourself”
Oteele also admitted to harbouring doubts about whether some of his colleagues may have secured benefits or appointments but have chosen not to disclose them.
“I don’t fully trust some of my colleagues. It’s possible that some have received things better than appointments but are keeping it a secret”
Despite the concerns, Oteele was full of praise for President Mahama, describing him as a leader committed to youth empowerment and national development.
