Veteran Ghanaian Gospel artiste Nicolas Omane Acheampong has lamented what he has described as neglect and a lack of recognition by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for his contributions over the years.

Speaking in an interview with Kumasi-based Ash FM, the 'Zaphenath Panea' hitmaker revealed that he has been a staunch supporter of the NPP since 2008, even using four of his personal cars for campaign activities.

However, despite his efforts, he has not received any form of compensation or acknowledgment from the party.

“Since 2008, I have been in support of the NPP. I have used four of my personal cars to campaign for the party. But up until now, no one from the party has even given me a pick-up vehicle as compensation,” he claimed.

Acheampong highlighted that many stakeholders in the creative arts sector are NPP supporters but are reluctant to openly declare their stance due to the party's treatment of those who have publicly supported them.

He emphasised that creatives do not necessarily seek financial rewards but rather recognition and appreciation for their contributions.

“Many of the stakeholders in the creative arts sector are all NPP supporters, but they can't be open about their stance because they’ve seen how the party has treated those who stood up in support of them

“Most of the creatives who supported NPP, it’s not that they want money or anything, sometimes, just a recognition or something to show that they are appreciated. But they get none of that,” he said.

Acheampong added that while John Mahama is not a significant challenge for the NPP, the party could improve their chances in the upcoming elections by showing more appreciation to their supporters.

“John Mahama is not a challenge for the NPP, but they can do so much better in the upcoming elections by just appreciating those who supported them,” he added.
