He spoke about security and technical issues. I had an opportunity to see the setup and the people handling it. I saw a video of the technical people talking about things they have not been able to get and are trying to get.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"3HmCtK1CWyE\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bulldog speaks on Wizkid\u2019s absence at Accra Sports Stadium concert\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3HmCtK1CWyE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf I put that with what Wizkid put out, then there was some sense in there. Don\u2019t let us forget that, I don\u2019t think Wizkid has played in any event space like the Accra Sports stadium before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bulldog explained that he has organised shows in the same venue and knows what it takes a lot to put out a successful concert, hence security must not be compromised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we say security, that is like a huge or broad topic. I have done shows at the stadium myself and it wasn\u2019t an easy thing. You need an army there. Both military and Police and you need huge numbers. Their clearance is on another level. I am sure a brand like Wizkid will want everything in detail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of things went wrong on the night, and you cannot put a brand like that\u2026 even if he had filled the stadium there will be casualties. Clearly, you cannot hold that against him. There is always a technical rider and a hospitality rider. It is very little we can criticise the team for,\u201d Bulldog explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artiste manager Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bulldog, has asked Ghanaians to pardon Nigerian singer, Wizkid for failing to show up for a billed concert at the Accra Sports Stadium.
