While there has not been an official announcement from the organisers of the big international music festival to confirm Davido’s comment, many feel Ghana's fun atmosphere in December of every year would be massively affected.

This is because the organisers, Live Nation, Event Horizon, Smade Entertainment, and Memories of Tomorrow, pull thousands of tourists from the US, UK and other parts of the world to Ghana for the Afro Nation.

CEO of Ghana Tourism Authority, Akwasi Agyemang, disclosed not long ago that other countries have been fighting to get Afro Nation brought to their cities, acknowledging the great benefits the international music festival brings to Ghana.
