One member of the now-defunct music group Wutah, Wutah Kobby has disclosed that he is no longer a sympathizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).Dismissing any party loyalty, he disclosed that endorsing a political party is purely a business strategy employed by musicians to capitalise on the election hype.Kobby emphasised that such decisions are critical for musicians, as they can either positively or negatively impact their careers.He stressed that his allegiance lies with his career and the financial well-being of himself and his family, making him open to endorsing any political party that approaches him, whether it be the National Democratic Congress (NDC) or NPP.
Addressing his past association with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kobby clarified that it was a historical connection that no longer holds sway.He emphasised that his current stance is solely grounded in the business aspect of making music and securing his livelihood.
"In endorsing a political party, it's purely the business aspect of doing music. I work to make a living, so when a political party contacts me for endorsement, it doesn't matter which party it is. It's got nothing to do with party affiliation, and back in the day, I had political party affiliation, but right now, I don't belong to any political organisation," he affirmed.As the 2024 election season looms, Ghanaian musicians are donning their party colours, turning the political landscape into a lucrative stage for their performances.
Recognized as the "cocoa season" for musicians, election years provide a unique opportunity for artists to showcase their talents on political platforms, albeit with significant financial risks as they command high fees for their services.
