Ghanaian gospel musician, Nicholas Omane Acheampong expressed his dissatisfaction with the insults he has received for supporting Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party in the upcoming December 7 elections.
In an interview with Joy FM last weekend, he revealed to Showbiz A-Z host Kwame Dadzie that he receives a lot of verbal attacks from NDC supporters due to his chosen Presidential nominee.
When asked if he had faced challenges as a gospel musician who has declared his political stance, he said: “I am facing a lot of challenges in the form of insults, because in this country if you involve yourself in politics, one thing you should be aware of before you enter is insult. They will insult you because you are not part of them. The NDC people, almost everybody is insulting me for supporting Dr Mahamadu Bawumia as if he is not a Ghanaian.”
He observed that Ghana would face a negative situation if John Mahama was re-elected to lead the country.
“I have a good reason for supporting him because I know for sure that if we don’t take and we relax because we are celebrities and that we need to protect our brands and we sit down quietly, and former President Mahama is voted into power again in this country, the first thing he will do is to cancel the free senior high school policy,” he said.
