"The organisers of the Ghana Victory Concert, responding to public sentiment and concerns from the party's grassroots regarding Stonebwoy's inclusion, have decided to remove the artist from the concert lineup," the statement read.

The statement apologised to all NDC members and the party's grassroots for including the Jiggle and Whine hitmaker in the concert's artist lineup.

The organisers of the Ghana Victory Concert further stated that sharing the flier announcing Stonebwoy's presence at the concert was a lack of discretion.

They concluded their message by apologising to Stonebwoy and his team for the unfortunate outcome.

"We sincerely apologize to all members of the National Democratic Congress, particularly the grassroots, for what may have appeared to be a lack of discretion on the part of the organizers. We also extend our apologies to Stonebwoy and his team for this unfortunate outcome."

Reactions to NDC dropping Stonebwoy

Many people on social media noted that if Stonebwoy had been dropped from the artist lineup, the event would not have been for all Ghanaians but for those affiliated with the NDC.

Others also argued that since Stonebwoy did not pledge his allegiance to the NDC, he did not deserve to share the stage with musicians such as Kwen Kwen hitmaker Nacee, Mzbel, and others who had pledged their affiliation to the party.

@Paddy1Gh said:

"Dropping Stonebwoy off is the most useless decision from the NDC , who are the grassroots we are talking about here? Most of these guys are not even real NDC’s but rather setting up the party for scrutiny. The NDC didn’t win power by the votes of only the party members"

"Stonebwoy dropped, no Wale too! When it gets to national concert, we can return to this part. For NDC victory, the likes of Nacee, Mzbel, Kojo B, Nero X, etc are those we wanna see. They entertained us during the campaign and must do so during the champaign."
