Reggae artist and Ghanaian dancehall, Samini advised the youth to say no to the party militias, because even the children of politicians never risk their lives for their parents by joining militia groups or demonstrations.

Samini's lawyer comes in the wake of the bloody by-election of Ayawaso West Wuogon on Thursday, January 31, 2019, during which members of the National Security opened fire on members of the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and wounded 16 others.

The incident led the president to demand the dismantling of all party militias in order to preserve the country's security.

Sending to Benjamin Akakpo at the Executive Breakfast Show on Clbadroom 1491, on March 14, 2019, Samini described as "sad" the # 39 idea that young people are willing to die for a politician for as little as GHS50.

Samini said, "Young people need to understand that this politician for whom you are giving up your life has his own little family that does not want to go out and do a demonstration. The president's daughters will not come to demonstrate and wear the colors of the feast for their father, but you will see thousands of hungry Ghanaians protesting.

"When their [children of politicians] dad becomes president, they go to Harvard [University], their children will go to Harvard, [too]their immediate families will benefit and they will never be in the street to protest.

"So, why are you ordinary Ghanaian youth engaged in a concussion for one?" [politician] for his family and himself to be happy, but at the hour of death, you will be the one who will die just for the GHS50. It's so sad. "

Samini continued, "You agree to wear jeans, boots and a t-shirt and you promise a man to slap him once the GHS50 is available. Say no to belonging to these little sects that have been programmed to cause trouble and distract the normal flow of daily activities … On election day, if you are part of a group of young people in charge of disrupting the process, shame on you, you are a yawa bi guy.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo instructed the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition party, the two guilty parties, to meet and dissolve the failure of their militia, what he will do himself by the legislative way.
