Ghanaian musician Kwabena Kwabena has opened up about his dissatisfaction with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and how they have treated him over the years.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, he shared his feelings of betrayal after the NPP edited and used one of his songs for their campaign without his permission.
“After they picked the number one position, they decided to use the old song for the campaign and they contacted the team about it, and they started the conversation. A conversation began and before I realised its been edited and played on radio” he stated.
He explained that they picked "oye number one" part of the song to communicate their number one position on the ballot without his consent.
Kwabena Kwabena had previously composed a campaign song for the NPP in 2016, titled "Vote Number 1," which became very popular and helped the party win the elections.
However, his manager, Nana Poku Ashis, disclosed that some individuals took money on Kwabena Kwabena's behalf without his consent, and the party later denied him compensation, claiming they had already paid him.
Asked how he felt about Nana Akufo-Addo's eight years in power, "I don’t think any human being would be satisfied; it feels very bad they could behave like that.”
According to him, the outcome of the last election should tell people that "Ghanaians are not satisfied and I cannot be satisfied as-well.”
