Rex Omar, a politician and singer from Ghana, has stated that he would accept a governmental job if offered one.
In a recent interview with Joy FM, National Democratic Congressman (NDC) stalwart Rex Omar stated that he would be happy to accept the post provided the work is within his purview.
“Now that I believe I am of age, I will [accept a political appointment] because I think I will be able to positively contribute to the development of this country if I am given any appointment that is within my capacity,” he declared.
“When we get to that road, we will cross it because at the end of the day, all these positions are political appointments and so long as you are smart and intelligent and you know what is going on in this country, wherever they put you, you can deliver if you want to,” he said in response to the question of whether he would want to hold a position at the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture.
The ‘Abiba’ hitmaker expressed his thoughts on the situation of Ghanaian democracy, stating that a six-year presidential term will improve the national government.
He claimed that no government could have a significant economic influence under the present four-year tenure.
“We jump on the bandwagon because America has elections every four years, but the question is, America’s democracy is over 200 years, okay? So look at our situation,” he said. Rex Omar gained notoriety in 1989 with the Aware Pa album, which also featured the song “Wodofo Ne Hwan?” Later, in 1992, he formed Nakorex, a group composed of the initial letters of each member’s name, along with fellow highlife artists Nat Brew (now Amandzeba) and Akosua Agyapong. The name of the group is an acronym for each member’s name. He went on to pursue a solo career, released excellent albums, performed both inside and outside of Ghana, won numerous accolades, and was nominated for a 2004 Kora Award.
