Spokesperson for the transition team of the NPP, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has refuted the claims of a statement released by the office of former President Mahama that an agreement has been reached for him to keep his current bungalow at Cantonments.
Speaking to Joy Fm in an interview early Monday, the newly sworn in MP for Ofoaso Ayirebi said that whilst President Mahama’s team had communicated the request to them, no agreement had been reached for him to keep the house.
The Ofoase Ayirebi constituency have voted a new Member of Parliament into office, as former broadcaster Kojo Oppong Nkrumah won a close race to win the constituency.
Oppong Nkrumah, who served for many years as morning show host for Joy Fm, entered the political fray only this election cycle, but managed to win the seat for the NPP.
The phenomenon of media branching into the political arena which took off hugely as we approach the next election, is showing no signs of stopping, with a couple of new media faces making moves towards entering the legislature.
Radio Gold presenter Alhassan S Suhuyini and popular Edziban host Kwame Dzokoto are reportedly eyeing two NDC seats for the 2016 elections. According to numerous reports, the pair would stand for elections when the NDC primaries commence in November, as announced by the party.
Congratulations are certainly in order for Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. The 33-year-old former Super Morning Show host of Joy FM has been elected as NPP parliamentary candidate for Ofoase Ayirebo constituency in the Eastern Region. In a very competitive race Nkrumah had 219 votes while John Obiri Yeboah and Bright Asamoah Acquah nabbed 145 and 55 … Read more
There have been speculations and publications in the last few days regarding Former JOY FM’s morning host-Kojo Oppong Nkrumah’s intention to contest for the MP seat of Ofoase-Ayirebi constituency on behalf of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)—eyeing the 2016 elections win to be able to make it to the next parliament.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has taken to his facebook to confirm this—and has explain his decision to enter the political room, saying, “[i]n Ghana today many of us complain about the ills of our nation. However, few of us are willing to offer ourselves to be part of the process of fixing these ills. Many of us think nothing can be done. Others think the costs will be too high.”
Read below for his full statement…
Somewhere in May 2010, the Informer newspaper accused the then JOY FM morning show host- Kojo Oppong Nkrumah as being NPP’s propaganda machine when he ought to remain neutral.
The newspaper wrote at the time that “Ever since the administration of President John Evans Atta Mills took over the mantle of leadership on 7th January 2009, Mr. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has taken advantage of the relative credibility of his medium, Joy FM to engage in subtle but sustained negative propaganda against President Mills and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.”
It surely seems Kojo Oppong Nkrumah had a soft spot for the NPP since social media speculations have that the former radio host is venturing in politics—straight into the house of NPP.
Last Saturday at the lobby of the Silver Bird Cinema and Lifestyle Store inside the Accra Mall, Joy FM’s Drive Time host, Bola Ray paraded Ghanaian celebrities in a charity dubbed ‘Celebrity Charity Bazaar’ to raise funds to create awareness for autism.
The event was organized by the Bola Ray Foundation and powered by Empire Entertainment with support from Creative Minds Outreach Buzz GH and Silver Bird Cinema. It was also to contribute to the Zeozougo classroom project of the SOS Children’s Village in the Northern Region of Ghana.
Out of the over 25 celebrities announced to make an appearance, a great chunk of them failed to woefully turn up. With flimsy excuses flying here and there, the autistic patients remained disappointed as they waited patiently for their ‘celebrities’ friends to show up and celebrate the day with them.
However, KOD, TV3 Newscaster Nana Aba Anamoah, Joy FM’s Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, hip life duo Rough N Smooth, actors John Dumelo and Lydia Forson, Stay Jay, new entrants into the music industry and dancer Bino as well as Nadjat of TV3 Mentor fame showed up.
The celebrities joined Bola Ray and family as they gave fans and autistic patients a day to remember. The celebrities sold movies tickets, popcorns, drinks, ice cream and a host of other services at the Silver Bird Lifestyle Store and Cinema. After, a basket was taken around as each celebrity put money in as their support for the project.
Fans also had photo opportunities with their favourite celebrities. The most interesting part of the event was when GhanaCelebrities.Com requested that, the celebrities and the autism patients should dance together. And what dance do they have in mind if not the ever loving and popular azonto?
The fierce ‘azonto’ competition was simply splendid. I know each of them picked up some ‘azonto’ lessons from each other.
As the fun went on, special sale of MAKSI Clothing went on with a percentage of sales going to the cause. Also there were special Kente and Christmas cards exhibition by the kids from the New Horizon Special School and the SOS Children’s Village.
After the event, one thing was certain; none of the celebrities who failed to turn up were missed and that was a fact. Below are pictures GhanaCelebrities.Com captured at the event. In case you see same people in the pictures, it’s because those people you call celebrities failed to shamefully turn up.
When they organize their own charity events and don’t get the support from their colleagues, I hope they won’t come out to play the ‘they don’t like me, they jealous me’ song else …
