Only In Ghana: DJ Abio Resigns From Channel ‘R’ & He Wants 3 People Sacked

Bearded Radio presenter, musician and statistician DJ ‘Abodwese’ Abio (real name Stanley Nyame) has resigned from his Dworwulu based Radio station Channel of Righteousness ‘Channel R’ after several attempts made by his employers to retain him at the station, proved futile.

DJ Abio resigned live on air about a month ago on one of his Monday editions of ‘205’ Total Entertainment, on ‘Channel R’. He bade farewell to his listeners and told them that was going to be the last day his voice would be heard on the station. He confirmed this in an exclusive interview with peacefmonline.com. Abio said he resigned for managerial and spiritual reasons.

He said about a week after he resigned on air, management of the station arranged several meetings but none of them could make him go back to the station, this time around. According to him, this is not the first time something like this is happening. He said, he even went back to the station, when they were trying to solve the issue, but nothing really changed, so this time he is gone for good.

DJ Abio has been working for ‘Channel R’ since it was established ten years ago. He is the host of one of the first entertainment discussion programs on radio code named ‘205’ Total Entertainment’, the program airs on ‘Channel R’ every Monday 10am-12pm, Wednesdays 10am-12pm and just recently on Fridays at the same time. He also hosted “Kente Rythms” and other programs.

Abio was cooling off at home when peacefmonline spoke to him. He said management was not treating him fairly and he is obviously not happy working there anymore. Asked what can make him change his mind he said “I will only go back there on condition that the management of the station buys me a brand new four-wheel-drive car, pays me a cash amount of GH¢60,000 and lastly, sacks some three people from the station”.

He said he wanted Kofi Appiah current morning show host; Agyemang Prempeh (Agyingo) a presenter at the station and Frederick (Unconcern) to be sacked, because the three are fighting against him spiritually at the Christian Station. He also stated that more than 10 Pastors and Men of God have warned him to be careful about people around him.
For now, he says he is having a ball at home.

Asked if he intends to work with another radio station, he said “Well, for now I am enjoying my necessary break. I feel very relaxed and I like it, so I want to relax for now”. Even though he has not written any official letter of resignation, the unemployed ‘Abodwese’ man has been off air for almost a month now.

Agyeman Prempeh also known as Agyingo has been hosting his entertainment programme in his absence. He has refused to write a resignation letter because according to him the station didn’t give him any appointment letter when he was employed to work there, so if he has decided to resign why should he write a letter to them? He asked.
