Speaking to Joy FM over the weekend he told Showbiz A-Z host Kwame Dadzie that a lot of NDC sympathizers verbally assault him because of his choice of Presidential candidate.

When asked if he had faced challenges as a gospel musician who has declared his political stance, he said: “I am facing a lot of challenges in the form of insults, because in this country if you involve yourself in politics, one thing you should be aware of before you enter is insult. They will insult you because you are not part of them. The NDC people, almost everybody is insulting me for supporting Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as if he not a Ghanaian.”

He noted that John Mahama will plunge Ghana in an unpleasant situation if he is given the mandate to rule the nation again.

“I have a good reason for supporting him because I know for sure that if we don’t take and we relax because we are celebrities and that we need to protect our brands and we sit down quietly, and former President Mahama is voted into power again in this country, the first thing he will do is to cancel the free senior high school policy,” he said.

Nicholas is not the only celebrity that has thrown his weight behind the NPP’s Presidential Candidate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia. Others are actor Prince David Osei, gospel singer Diana Asamoah, music producer Appietus, among others.

On the side of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are actors Wayoosi, Big Akwes, musician Nacee, comedian DKB and gospel musician Jak Alolome.

Jak Alolome who has done a campaign song for the NDC’s Presidential Candidate, John Mahama, has stated that he did that not for financial benefits.

He said on Showbiz A-Z that he did the song out of his free will to support the ideals of Mahama.

In the meantime, the creative sector is girding up for the industry’s thought-leadership event dubbed MANIFESTO DEBATE ON CREATIVE ECONOMY.

There are countless reports about entertainment personalities who have shown their political colours being negatively affected; some lose out on lucrative deals or roles which ultimately leaves them worse off but for Mr Acheampong, it is only lazy celebrities who complain.
                                                      
He said if a celebrity is talented there is no way he or she should be affected by campaigning for a political party.

“I admire someone like John Dumelo, despite coming out strongly to support the National Democratic Congress (NDC) his popularity has not gone down and he is still doing extremely well.

“Anyone who would hide behind a political party and say he is not doing well because he publicly campaigned for that party is just lazy,” he told host Nana Ama McBrown.

 Nicholas Omane Acheampong, who has pitched his camp with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the years, indicated that he is very confident about President Nana Akufo-Addo winning another four-year term and he is readying to drop a powerful song for him after the elections.

“Nana Addo has succeeded in convincing me to campaign for the NPP with their good messages. The free SHS alone is enough reason for me to vote and campaign for them,” he said.                                                

He stated emphatically that ex-president John Mahama will never become the president of Ghana again.

“Mark my words, John Mahama is never winning this election. It is a straight win for the NPP. I, therefore, urge everyone to vote massively for NPP so that Nana Addo can continue his good works,” he said.

According to him, President Akufo-Addo is embarking on a lot of policies which have affected the lives of Ghanaians and needs another term to complete.

Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Okay FM, the Zaphenath–Paneah hitmaker subtly pushed the ‘Four more 4 Nana’ agenda as he made a strong case for the free Senior High School (SHS) policy.

“The implementation of the free SHS policy has helped many children and parents in the country; the less-privileged in society have benefited immensely so there is the need for Akufo-Addo to be retained to continue the good works,” he said.

Recounting the outcome of the 2016 elections, he was confident Mr Mahama caused his own defeat with his campaign message.

He added that Mr Mahama’s message thrived on interchanges and projects the ordinary Ghanaian could not directly benefit from.
