Media personality, Captain Smart, has waded into the controversy surrounding the infamous fake UN award scandal that has rocked some personalities.
Speaking in a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Captain Smart defended the man behind the award scheme, Dr Fordjour, popularly known as Dr UN.
According to him, the award is not fake in the sense that Dr UN never claimed to present it under the auspices of the United Nation, but rather, in his capacity as a Ghanaian who wished to honour those doing well in the country.

He revealed that in the citation, Dr UN vividly stated that he was instituting the award in honour of Kofi Annan because of what he did for Ghana.
Captain Smart was, therefore, not happy as he mentioned Sarkodie’s name saying the rapper has rejected the award because he doesn’t know anything.
He added that all those who speak ill about the award have not made any impact and did not deserve it; stressing that: “As for me, I like the award today, tomorrow, and tomorrow next.”

“The song is good, you are smart, but the part that says I am a scammer, I don’t like it,” Dr UN said.
