Ghanaian musician Maradona Yeboah Adjei, better known by his stage name Guru, has revealed his aspirations to work with the United Nations, inspired by the impactful legacy of former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Speaking at the University of Ghana, Guru expressed his admiration for Annan’s dedication to global peace and development, sharing his own hopes to make a positive difference on an international scale.
Annan’s tenure as the first sub-Saharan African to lead the UN remains an inspiration to many. His reforms brought greater transparency, accountability, and efficiency to the organization.
Annan also established the role of Deputy Secretary-General and championed human rights and sustainable development—a legacy that continues to influence leaders around the world.
In an interview with Dave Hammer on Hello Entertainment Review, Guru reflected on Annan’s achievements and his own desire to contribute to humanity through the United Nations.
This goal represents a new chapter in the artist’s journey, moving beyond music to make a broader impact.
Guru’s leadership potential first emerged during his time at the University of Ghana, where he won the SRC presidential election.
His victory reflected his strong connection with the student community and his drive to lead. Now, he’s setting his sights even higher, looking to carry the values of service and advocacy to a global platform, following in the footsteps of one of Ghana’s most respected leaders.
