Actor Kwaku Manu has denied allegations of benefiting from politicians, specifically during John Dramani Mahama's presidency.

He clarified that although an initiative was launched to provide cars to financially struggling celebrities, he declined the offer as he already owned a vehicle at the time.

He expressed confusion over the criticism faced by celebrities for their political affiliations, questioning why such reactions occur.

Manu highlighted that politicians have never financially supported him directly, emphasizing his independence in expressing his views.

This response came after fellow actress Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu urged actors to support Mahama in the upcoming elections, citing his past efforts.

Manu echoed her sentiments and advocated for Mahama's support during a meeting with the NDC flagbearer, which has garnered mixed reactions from the public.

"Why would you be angry if someone is affiliated with NPP or NDC? Are you wiser than everyone? Mahama realized that some celebrities were not living in good conditions, so he put measures in place to gift cars so that they could pay for them as loans over time.

"I went to see the cars with others who were struggling at that time. I told them to give it to others because I had a vehicle that was dear to me. I was driving at that time. No politician has ever fed me. Nobody can boldly claim so. So when I speak, I know what I am talking about," he stated in a video shared by Express GH TV on their YouTube channel.
