Veteran Ghanaian Gospel artist, Nicolas Omane Acheampong has lamented what he has described as neglect and a lack of recognition by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for his contributions over the years.
During an interview with Ash FM in Kumasi, the artist behind ‘Zaphenath Panea’ disclosed his unwavering support for the NPP since 2008, and mentioned that he has utilized four of his own vehicles for campaign purposes.
Nevertheless, even though he has tried hard, he hasn’t been given any kind of payment or recognition from the group.
“Since 2008, I have been in support of the NPP. I have used four of my personal cars to campaign for the party. But up until now, no one from the party has even given me a pick-up vehicle as compensation,” he claimed.
Acheampong pointed out that numerous individuals in the creative arts industry support the NPP but do not announce it publicly because of how the party treats its public supporters.
He stressed that creatives are more interested in acknowledgment and appreciation for their work rather than financial incentives.
“Many of the stakeholders in the creative arts sector are all NPP supporters, but they can’t be open about their stance because they’ve seen how the party has treated those who stood up in support of them
“Most of the creatives who supported NPP, it’s not that they want money or anything, sometimes, just a recognition or something to show that they are appreciated. But they get none of that,” he said.
Acheampong added that while John Mahama is not a significant challenge for the NPP, the party could improve their chances in the upcoming elections by showing more appreciation to their supporters.
“John Mahama is not a challenge for the NPP, but they can do so much better in the upcoming elections by just appreciating those who supported them,” he added.
