If you enter politics for the money, you’ll be let down, says the NPP National Youth Organiser
The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has warned young people against entering politics with the intention of making money.
In his appearance on Joy FM’s Personality Profile on Thursday, Salam Mustapha informed the host, Lexis Bill, that “politics is hard work.”
“You’ll be disappointed if you enter politics with the intention of making money,” he continued.
According to him, it is “a difficult enterprise to venture into and young people should not think it’s a quick fix because it’s not.”
He claimed that since politics is a sacrifice-based industry, one must have the audacity, character, and aptitude to succeed.
He enjoys politics because it helps him comprehend people and the nation as a whole, according to Mustapha.
According to the NPP National Youth Organiser, he began and finished his elementary education in Tamale where he was born and raised with his ten siblings.
After that, he travelled to the University of Salford in Manchester, UK, and Tamale SHS, University of Development Studies.
His line of work is project management and development specialist.
SM, as he is affectionately known, described how he entered politics.
He disclosed that among others, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, the current CEO of the National Petroleum Authority, was crucial to his political career.
Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia was also praised by the former director of programmes at the vice president’s office, who called him “a warm person whose level of humility he’s yet to see in any humankind again”
Salam Mustapha urged more youngsters to join the NPP because it is an independent, pro-youth organisation.
