PRAY YOUR PARTY WINS; ELSE YOU WILL BE SILENCED IF THEY LOSE! – Maame Dokono To Artistes Involved In Politics

Maame Dokono, who knows the negative aspects of being a politician in the creative industry, has cautioned others to be careful before taking on the same role.

The experienced actress has warned creative industry stakeholders who are politically active of the challenging times ahead if their party loses an election.

“If you’re going into politics and you’re an artiste, pray that your party wins, because if your party loses, you will be shut down by everybody. They won’t cast you and they will not let people even watch your film,” she stated in an interview on GTV.

Maame Dokono shared her own encounters, revealing that she didn’t receive any film opportunities and was overlooked for approximately two years.

 ‘I wasn’t cast for about two years,” she recalled.

The popular actress expressed regret when reflecting on her involvement in politics, stating she wouldn’t have been as deeply involved.

She also shared how her connection with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led to the sudden conclusion of her well-known ‘By the fire side’ series on the same stage.

“The NPP was doing something at Cape Coast, and at that time, a few of the artistes were behind Nana Addo. I was also there, and I was the one who put up a performance before Nana Addo came on stage. The party members liked my zeal on stage, and they said I was a hotcake, so they wanted me to join their party. They asked if I’d like to join the NPP and I hurriedly said yes. 

“I didn’t know it was going to create a problem between me and the former first lady. It messed up my relationship with her brutally, and she took everything from me. She was at that time sponsoring ‘By the fire side’. She gave me a van, camera equipment, and so on, but she took everything back, and that was the end of ‘By the Fireside’,” she stated.
