Also, he added that the camp of Dr Bawumia did not seek his consent before using his song at the political event.

Finally, he revealed that he is the grandson of the embattled Mr James Gyakye Quayson and doesn't take lightly to it that his song is being used by the NPP considering all that they have put his grandfather through.

He, therefore, called on Dr Bawumia, appealing to him to ensure that his song is not used for his campaign going forward.

At the time of writing the report, the video had gathered over 152,000 views and over 1000 comments.
