Ghanaian comedian Jeneral Ntatia, whose birth name is Prince Kwame Amoabeng, shared a detailed account of his father's death and his political stance in a Joy Prime conversation with Nikki Samonas. According to MyJoyOnline, the discussion covered both his personal grief and his continued association with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Ntatia described being on national service when his mother called to say his father was unwell. His father initially reassured him, but a second call later that afternoon indicated critical condition, prompting a rush to Osino. He recalled a friend calling while he was in Suhum, directing him first to Chebi Hospital and then back home, where the full reality of the loss settled in. As the firstborn son, he faced the immediate task of informing his grandmother and siblings while supporting his mother, who resided on borrowed land in Osino, distant from their ancestral home in Adansi Fomena.
The comedian noted that his father had prepared him for this transition by repeatedly telling him he was the captain of the ship. Ntatia reflected on how his father’s final messages helped him navigate the new responsibilities, stating, “But then I think my dad did an ) amazing job.” The family had remained hopeful for recovery, making the sudden loss more difficult to accept.
Regarding his politics, Ntatia explained that he feels stuck with the NPP after campaigning for them in the 2020 general elections. He attributed this loyalty to the party’s Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy, which he said allowed his youngest sibling to attend Labone Senior High School without tuition fees. He noted, “Our last born went to Labone Senior High School for free,” highlighting how the policy eased the financial burden of caring for his siblings after both parents passed away.
Despite backlash from some audiences for his public support, Ntatia indicated the criticism did not trouble him due to his personal circumstances. He encouraged voters to back the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the 2028 general elections, viewing the party’s educational policies as essential for children’s access to schooling.
