Musician Evangelist Akwasi Nyarko Appeals to Mahama and NDC for Support Amid Financial Struggles

• Evangelist Akwasi Nyarko, in a trending video, appealed to President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC for financial support
• The gospel musician said that composing a party campaign song before the 2024 elections had negatively impacted his career
• Nyarko's appeal to President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC garnered mixed reactions from Ghanaians on social media

Ghanaian gospel musician Evangelist Akwasi Nyarko has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for support amid ongoing financial struggles.

In a video he shared on TikTok, the musician shared that he composed a campaign song for the president and the NDC before the 2024 elections and even visited his home, where the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, gifted him some money.

Evangelist Akwasi Nyarko claimed that his open support for the party had negatively affected his career as a native of the Ashanti Region. According to him, people had stopped booking him for events in the region since he supported President Mahama and the NDC before last year's elections.

He explained that he was struggling to fend for himself and his children since a lady who received money from the president's family on his behalf had refused to give him the money.

"President Mahama, you will think you have created music for the devil if you compose a song for the NDC as an Ashanti or Ghanaian living in Kumasi. I no longer get booked for events because I composed a song for the NDC."

"People do not understand the job we do. I am a musician. There is nothing wrong with me accepting any party's offer to compose a song for them. If you live in the Ashanti Region and do something for the NDC, you would think you did it for the devil. People would no longer care about you."

"I have children and I am also hungry. I am begging you, President Mahama. The woman I came to your house with took my bank accounts and promised to send some money she received from you but I am still yet to get it."

Evangelist Akwasi Nyarko appealed to President Mahama, First Lady Lordina Mahama, the NDC and Ghanaians to intervene in his dire situation and help him overcome his financial challenges.
