Wake up from your Slumber: Kojo Preko Dankwa Cautions C.E.O of National Commission on Culture Wakefield Ackuaku

Published

on

I have read an article written by one, Azumah Ibrahim (Chief Tuya Naa), who says he is PNDC (C.D.R) and NDCAG. Savanna Regional Director, Centre for National Culture, Damango on yagbonradioonline.

The write-up seeks to call on President John Dramani Mahama to look into a series of what he calls acts of insubordination and deliberate sabotage by certain staff of the Commission, as well as actions by some officers of the sector ministry.

According to the write-up it quoted, the current acting CEO of the National Commission on Culture, Wakefield Ackuako, submitted a report to draw the attention of the office of the president.

 

If Mr Wakefield Ackuaku indeed wrote such a report to the office of the President, and equally, the details of the report found themselves in the media space, then respectfully, Wakefield Ackuaku lacks the capacity to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission.

1- ACTS OF INSUBORDINATION: The report speaks to acts of insubordination and deliberate sabotage by certain staff of the Commission and the sector ministry.  This is uncalled for and immaturity at display here.

 

You are the CEO of a whole agency and commander of the agency; instil respect and discipline.  Why report to your boss who appointed you to fix the problem? Do not be seen as a baby whose toffee has been taken away and is crying for attention. By this time, you should know the chain of command within your sector. If the mother ministry is undermining your work, you make it known to the minister in charge and escalate it to possibly the chief of staff if the need be.

 

2- REFORMS – The article mentions Wakefield Ackuaku’s inability to realign the operations of the Commission.  Clearly, you are exhibiting lost gravitas to be the leader at the agency.

 

The write-up mentioned a case of Richardson Fio, who was reassigned to the Upper East and blatantly refused. Clearly, there is a leadership crisis at the agency.

The matter of Richards beats my mind, and I’m wondering. Mr Ackuaku, were you not part of the meeting held between the Minister and, Chief Director regarding Mr Richardson Commey Fio, reassignment to the ministry?

Have you not ordered the change of locks to the office of Mr Richardson Commey Fio since you wrote to him in May this year to reassign him?

 

Above all, l will urge you not to allow regional centre directors to be writing articles that implicate you and largely disgrace the very political party that has given you this position to serve your mother, Ghana.

How can a sector minister undertake field visits, particularly to the north, to visit Commission centres and familiarise herself with ongoing activities, whereas you, the CEO of the Commission, have not even stepped there to do otherwise? You should rather do it and call for her attention since you are in charge and the big issues you have identified.

Keep the focus to see a positive turnover of the Commission and make sure your tenure in the office brings success.

 

Kojo Preko Dankwa

FOCAP President.

Haruna Rashid Yussif vrs Africa University of Communication and Business; SRC Presidential Aspirant Challenges Election Outcome

Published

on

Tension is rising within the Africa University of Communication and Business (AUCB) following a dispute involving SRC presidential aspirant Haruna Rashid Yussif, who has raised concerns over the conduct and outcome of the recent Student Representative Council (SRC) elections.

Haruna Rasfid Yussif, a prominent contender in the race, is reportedly contesting aspects of the electoral process, questioning both transparency and fairness. His grievances are believed to stem from irregularities observed before and during the voting process, which he argues may have influenced the final results.

According to emerging reports, sections of his campaign team have also expressed dissatisfaction, calling for a thorough review of the election procedures. While full official details remain limited, discussions circulating within student circles suggest that the matter could escalate if not addressed by university authorities.

The SRC election, a key democratic exercise within the institution, is expected to reflect the voice and choice of the student body. However, controversies such as this risk undermining confidence in the process, particularly among candidates and their supporters.

Observers note that disputes of this nature are not uncommon in student politics, but the response from university management will be critical in determining how the situation unfolds. Calls for dialogue, transparency, and possible redress mechanisms are already gaining traction.

As of now, the leadership of the Africa University of Communication and Business has yet to issue a comprehensive public statement addressing the concerns raised by Haruna Rashid Yussif.

The coming days are expected to be decisive as stakeholders await clarity, accountability, and a resolution that preserves the integrity of student governance on campus.

The silence from authorities at the Africa University of Communication and Business is only adding to the pressure. Students across campus are beginning to ask tough questions about accountability, fairness, and whether the SRC election truly reflected the will of the people.

Student politics may often mirror national dynamics, but this situation is fast escalating beyond routine disagreement. If not addressed swiftly, it risks eroding trust in the very system meant to represent student voices.

For now, all eyes are on the university’s leadership. Will they step in to investigate and restore confidence, or allow the controversy to deepen?

One thing is clear: this isn’t just about an election anymore. It’s about credibility.

Kweisey Pee must Explain why I was left off “Monto Song” – CityGod Aruu Speaks Out

Published

on

Ghanaian versatile artist CityGod Aruu has publicly expressed disappointment over what he describes as his unexplained exclusion from the hit song “Monto,” a track widely associated with Kweisey Pee, in which he was featured.

In a recent interview on Despite Media’s NEAT F.M with Abena Moet, CityGod Aruu lamented that despite his alleged involvement in the creative process behind the song, his name was not featured or credited when the record gained mainstream attention. According to him, the situation has left his fans questioning the circumstances surrounding the release.

“Only Kweisey Pee can explain why my name was not included on ‘Monto,’” Aruu stated, hinting at unresolved issues behind the scenes. While he stopped short of making direct accusations, his remarks suggest a deeper concern about recognition and fairness within collaborative projects.

The song Monto has enjoyed notable success since its release, gaining traction across streaming platforms and within Ghana’s music circles. However, Aruu’s statement has now shifted part of the conversation toward transparency in crediting contributions, an issue that continues to surface in the creative industry.

Industry observers note that such disputes are not uncommon, especially among rising acts navigating collaborations without clearly defined agreements. Situations like this often highlight the importance of proper documentation, communication, and mutual understanding among artistes and their teams.

As of now, Kweisey Pee has not publicly responded to the claims. Fans and stakeholders alike will be watching closely to see whether clarification or resolution emerges in the coming days.

CityGod Aruu’s remarks add to the ongoing dialogue about artist recognition in Ghana’s evolving music landscape, where talent, collaboration, and credit must align to sustain trust and growth within the industry.

CityGod is currently out with two singles, “ Obaa Hemaa” and “Day Dreaming, Featuring Qwesi Ded Buddy.
