He urged parties intent on using his song for electioneering to first settle him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they are using it for campaign, I have not authorised anyone and I have not been paid [for its use]. So if you are using if for campaign, then come and pay me,\u201d he demanded on Accra100.5FM\u2019s Gospel 360.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he was not into politics and would not campaign for any party, explaining: \u201cI do not campaign for any party. \u2026The God I follow is the greatest. As for the political parties, they can disappoint you within a twinkle of an eye, so I do not campaign for any political party and I will never do that. But if a party wishes to use any of my songs for its campaign\u2026I invested money into its composition so if they give me something for my efforts no problem\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut to rework the song [to suit a party\u2019s campaign] as others do, I will never do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he said he was open to invitations to sing at any party event for a fee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they will pay me, I will mount the platform as a professional artiste and perform and take my money and leave \u2013 they (political parties) will have to run their own campaign,\u201d the singer stated.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 25 October 2016 Source: AccraFM.com 2016-10-25 Nicholas Omane Acheampong Popular gospel song Aporsor was not composed because of elections this year, singer Nicholas Omane Acheampong has said.
