to NPP | |

A notable prolific
composer like Nana Kwame Ampadu is bound to receive
attention when he calls for it and he used the
opportunity at Abetifi Easter Saturday to unveil ‘We
Like Am So’, a song which demonstrates his sympathy
for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Before Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng II, Omanhene of Kwahu
Traditional Area, other Nananom, NPP presidential
candidate Nana Akufo-Addo, Ministers of State, NPP
foot soldiers and others, a very lively Nana Ampadu
sporting an NPP cap declared that God had sent him
with the good tidings

that Nana Akufo-Addo
has been already declared winner in the spiritual realm
and that all are just waiting for December for that to
manifest. He urged all Kwahu citizens to support the
winning side.
"Kwahu is my territory and the area harbours a lot of NPP
stalwarts. They know I'm a prophet and they adore me. I
know they will listen to me," the 63-year-old Nana Ampadu
told Showbiz.
Nana Ampadu is the General Secretary of the Musicians
Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and one of Ghana's best-known
highlife stars. He formed the famous African Brothers Band
in 1963 and has released countless hits with the band.
It is nearly 10 years now since he publicly declared his
foray into evangelism and dedication of his life to the
service of God. Aside music, politics seems to kick up
something in the man and God seems to have been speaking
to him a lot about the subject,
Nana Ampadu's song and words at Abetifi caught some of his
own folks by surprise. He had been known as a National
Democratic Congress (NDC) sympathiser who sang at party
rallies, together with other artistes like Super O.D,
Jewel Ackah and the late S.K. Oppong, urging people to
vote for the NDC. According To Nana Ampadu, he was led by
the spirit to predict that Jerry Rawlings would win the
presidential election in 1992 and 1996 and he was right.
"This new revelation came to me last January and I have
said it elsewhere already that Nana Akufo-Addo has been
ordained to rule this country after December."
Nana Ampadu said he would record his ‘We Like Am So’ song
for the NPP campaign. Though he would not go into the
field to directly campaign, he stated that he would go
anywhere God sends him to deliver a message.
Some of the messages Nana has received recently have not
been exclusively for the NPP. "God spoke to me to warn
against election-related violence and I have written to
all the parties about that," the famous highlife musician
from Obo-Kwahu said.
There were rumours that Ampadu had downed his guitar and
become a road contractor during the NDC era.
Nana Ampadu said all that were meant by detractors to
tarnish his good name and that he had never been a
contractor of any sort. “I do not think I was doing a bad
thing even if I was a contractor. After all, that’s a more
honourable thing to do than being a cocaine dealer.”
The honourable thing for Nana Ampadu to do these days, it
seems, is to obey God's voice and promptly relay His
messages, especially those about Ghanaian politics.
The NPP, from Nana Ampadu's prediction, appear to be in
God's good books at the moment and that should make them
smile all the way to the new presidential palace at
Flagstaff House early next year.
