Ghanaian
highlife musician, Lucky Mensah, says he has received threatening messages from
persons he perceive to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC);
a party he has cut ties with.
“Some NDC
supporters called to warn me. Even yesterday a lady called to threaten me but I
am for the country. I have had several calls of threats but that will not stop
me”, he told Onua FM Wednesday morning.
In 2008,
Lucky Mensah sang the famous ‘Come Back To NDC’ track for the NDC, which became
one of the party’s official campaign songs. Few years later, he released a
controversial satirical song titled ‘Nkratuo’ , which sends a message through
one ‘Tawiah’ to tell his big brother ‘Atta’ that things are not going well and
that the situation has gone very bad. This was to express his displeasure over
how the country was being managed by the NDC.
Though he
said he campaigned for President John Mahama in the 2012 election, he felt
disappointed and now wants to support NPP’s Akufo-Addo. But his switch from the
NDC appears to have angered the supporters who he claim have been threatening
him.
Lucky
Mensah said on Onua FM’s Yen Sempa Wednesday asked those behind the threats to
“desist from that because the late Major Retired Courage Quarshigah was in NDC
but left for the NPP. He added: “Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings was in NDC but
left to form her party when she realized the NDC was not performing.
So in the
same way, I supported the NDC but I have realized I have disappointed Ghanaians
by releasing a song and also campaigning for the NDC to win power that is why I
have left for the NPP”.
Despite
the threats, he said he will be on NPP campaign platforms whenever he is
invited. “I will go to the NPP platforms to campaign for them and the song is
also part of the campaign because I had believe in President John Mahama to
push Ghana forward after the NPP government but he has disappointed
Ghanaians”.
