Wayoosi releases campaign song for John Mahama

Veteran Kumawood actor Joseph Nana Kofi Osei, also known as Wayoosi, has composed a campaign song for former president of Ghana and presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama.

The song titled "Nana Adobea" chronicles the failures of the Nana Addo-led administration.

The song talks about campaign promises Nana Addo made to Ghanaians prior to being elected into the presidency and how the president had disappointed Ghanaians with his abysmal governance, despite the hope Ghanaians had in his ability to turn the economic fortunes of the country around for the better.

The actor, who used to be an ardent supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), recently opened up about why he left the NPP.

According to him, the NPP’s running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, was the reason he quit the NPP. Wayoosi shared that during NAPO's campaign for the Member of Parliament (MP) seat for the Manhyia South constituency, he offered significant support to the minister but felt unacknowledged.

He recounted being proactive in calling delegates to secure votes for NAPO, contributing to the minister's successful election. However, Wayoosi expressed disappointment in an interview with Zionfelix, noting that NAPO's interactions with him diminished after providing steadfast support.

The actor described feeling disregarded by NAPO's actions, leading to his disinterest in the NPP.

"I got to know NPP through NAPO, and he needed my assistance for his MP campaign. He handed me a list of delegates who might oppose him, and I reached out to each one to persuade them to vote for us. Since he was elected MP, our conversations haven't lasted more than 30 seconds."
