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.
