An old video of outspoken Ghanaian media personality Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has popped up with him boldly stating he is a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as he aims for an NDC parliamentary seat.
In the viral old video compilation, Captain Smart was heard saying, “I am an NPP man, and I will not stop saying it, and everyone knows I am an NPP man”.
Also, Captain Smart added, “I am not an NDC member; I will never be for the NDC. I am telling you, I will not vote for Mahama”.
However, some days ago, Captain Smart is now claiming to be a member of the NDC, alleging he was arrested 39 times under the NPP because of the NDC.
According to Captain Smart, the 39 times arrest was within two years by the NPP government over his unwavering support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He stressed that leaders of the former Akufo-Addo government were unhappy with his persistent criticism of their administration, which led to his series of arrests.
Addressing some constituents in Gomoa West, Captain Smart stated, “I have always said that politics should not be an antagonistic game. You need people who can help. Which presenter in Ghana can say he or she supported the NDC more than I did? I was arrested 39 times because of the NDC”.
He further alleged that during one of the arrests, he was offered a Ghana Must Go bag filled with money.
Captain Smart detailed that the offer was intended to persuade him to stop criticising the NPP government.
According to Captain Smart, he rejected the money because of his commitment to the NDC and President John Dramani Mahama.
He further alleged, “The day I was taken to the NIB, they offered me a bag full of money. They took me to a place called EFCC, and when I got there, they showed me a Ghana Must Go bag filled with cash.
“They told me that if I stopped speaking against them, the money would be mine. Sammy Awuku can bear witness to this. One thing about me is that I am fair. If my party is wrong, I will tell them. In the same way, I will also speak against the NPP when they are wrong,” he added.
The development stems from Captain Smart declaring that he will contest the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary primaries.
Meanwhile, Captain Smart has announced his decision to end his stay with Onua TV.
Speaking on the Onua Maakye show aired on August 7, 2026, Captain Smart officially announced his resignation from the station.
“I want to withdraw. I have officially resigned. This isn’t going to be the case where I will come back again. The bosses here may not agree, but I have done my part. I want the man who mic’d me to come and take off my microphone on air,” he said.
