Ghanaian Highlife musician, Akwaboah has stated unequivocally that although he is willing to perform for political parties, he will not compose music for them.
The “Obiba” hitmaker stated he would prefer to write music that helps the entire country rather than support a certain political party.
“If you call me to perform, I would, but if it is to compose a song, no, I can’t. I would rather compose for Ghana as a whole,” he said in an interview on OKAY FM, on September 12.
He explained that composing a song for a political party could have adverse effects if the party does not win elections
Rather, he believes that it would be more beneficial to compose a song geared towards the development of the whole nation.
“If I do a song for Ghana and the country progresses, it would benefit all of us, but if I compose a song for a single political party and it doesn’t work out, it would affect me negatively,” he explained.
As the election season gains momentum, Akwaboah becomes the latest amongst the list of Ghanaian artistes, including Keche, Kweku Darlington, and Olivetheboy, who have indicated an interest in performing for political parties.
