Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Neat FM presenter and film producer, Ola Michael has admonished Ghanaians to stop hailing the new Inspector General of Police, Dampare Akufo as he has not done anything that deserves to be praised.
According to Ola Michael, the IGP has been silent on the loss of lives during the last presidential and parliamentary elections in 2020.
He averred that until the IGP rejects his monthly salary, he has done nothing new and is seen as just one of them.
Ola Michael added that when the IGP is centred around capturing celebrities, he is unintentionally expanding their following and making them more well known than rebuffing them. The IGP, he said, is just doing the work he has been paid to do.
“We need to stop praising him. Dampare, it’s getting sickening by the day. Is he doing anything about the deaths that occurred during the election? There were ministers and MPs brandishing guns, not to mention shooting them,” he said on Onua TV this week.
“What has he done to address this? I’m still waiting for him to reject his salary, at which point I’ll say, ‘Yeah, there’s a new guy.’ Until then, it’s all a bit of a shambles. Now that we’re in Ghana, people will start crucifying him,” he said.
“When you believe you are punishing a celebrity, you are actually increasing their fan base and popularity. The IGP is doing well, but you should refrain from lavishing praise on him. He’s just doing his job. Do you get the same compliments on your work, AJ? He’s doing what he’s been paid and assigned to do”.
