President Akufo-Addo — I'm Intrigued Shatta Wale Birthday Tweet Went Viral

blank
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has spoken out for the first time about his birthday message to Shatta Wale which went viral for one reason.
The message contained some pidgin English and people just couldn’t think far that the usually reserved, strict looking Akufo-Addo would write in pidgin.
The tweet went viral, especially after Shatta Wale responded asking for a land cruiser, with even the BBC picking it up for its pidgin language service.
Speaking at the National Cyber Security Week, the President addressed the issue for the first time since it broke on October 17. The President highlighted it to show the immense power of social media which he said had left him intrigued.
“I’m no less intrigued that I have over 400,000 friends [and] followers and a recent tweet wishing Shatta Wale happy birthday in pidgin would go viral,” the President said.
He added: “The cars that we drive today are more computers on wheels than the mechanical beasts we used to drive.”
