How will you deliver in parliament if you haven't delivered on the Ghana Movie Awards?

Efia Odo, a Ghanaian actress, has expressed her opposition to Fred Nuamah’s desire to run for office in parliament. Efia Odo explained her dissatisfaction with Fred Nuamah’s candidature for a seat in Ghana’s parliament on UTV’s United showbiz.

According to her, while Nuamah is a good candidate, he has not delivered as the CEO of the Ghana Movie Awards and thus will not be a good fit for the role of a parliamentarian.

“I’m not saying Fred Nuamah isn’t a good contestant; I’m just saying that if you can’t deliver on something like the Ghana Movie Awards, where you’re supposed to award people and give them plaques, how can you deliver on anything else?”

‘‘Because since 2018 I haven’t gotten my plaque and a lot of people have complained about this, and you’ll go upstage with your plaque and you have to give it back to them backstage,’’ she said.

Efia believes that politics is all about being able to deliver when given a position to do something, but she does not believe Fred Nuamah is up to the task.

‘‘It’s about delivery, you’ve started a program and these are the basic things like if someone wins an award you give the person’s plague to him/her and they are supposed to have it, so if you can’t deliver in that, then how are you going to deliver in politics,’’ Efia concluded.

Fred Nuamah announced his intention to run for Member of Parliament, MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, on the National Democratic Congress, NDC ticket, alongside John Dumelo.

Social media users were outraged when Fred Numah announced plans to run in the same constituency as his friend and colleague John Dumelo.

He recalls booking Sarkodie, R2Bees, and Wande Coal for the event as a student. Unfortunately, Wande Coal did not attend the concert, leading to the widespread belief that Mr. Eazi had fled with the money. In reflecting on the difficult circumstance, Mr Eazi stated, "I didn't know that he [Wande Coal] didn't receive his full money." Despite financial restrictions and unfinished business, Mr. Eazi addressed Sarkodie and Mugeez with humility.

Mr Eazi, global Afrobeats singer, investor, and entrepreneur, recently told a touching anecdote about how renowned Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie and Mugeez saved his career during his university days.

Mr Eazi, who began as an event organiser in college, had a difficult experience when some of the performers he had engaged for an award show were unable to come owing to budgetary restrictions.

“In my early days as an event organizer at the university, I faced a situation where some artists I had booked for an award show couldn’t attend due to monetary issues.

People caught me, and that’s when upcoming artists in my school started being my friends, allowing me to book them for events. Although we lost more money than we made throwing parties, we continued because we loved having projects and seeing them come together. So, we transitioned to award shows, and I organized the first social awards at my university,” Mr Eazi narrated.

Despite financial restrictions and unfinished business, Mr. Eazi addressed Sarkodie and Mugeez with humility.

“I remember begging Sarkodie, who was owed $2,500.00, pleading with him even though I hadn’t paid him completely. He came on stage, saving me with his presence. That’s why, till today, R2Bees’ Mugeez is more than a friend; he’s a brother. He came, jumped on stage, and killed it,” Mr Eazi expressed
