Table of Men member, Franky Owusu Kwabena popularly known as Franky 5, has refuted claims by George Quaye that they are influencing members of the Vodafone Ghana Awards Board and Academy to vote for Piesie Esther for the Artiste of the Year award.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to him, they don\u2019t know members of the Board or the Academy. They are just soliciting votes from people in the industry and the general public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery year, the change the Board. I don\u2019t know any Board member. I am saying to you that we have lobbied many people including ex Board members and our friends in the media. We throw our meat out there, wherever the fish comes from we catch it ,\u201d he noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said this on Joy FM\u2019s Twitter Spaces<\/strong> show hosted by Kwame Dadzie on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Franky, who is also a gospel presenter and artiste manager, Table of Men is dedicated to ensuring that the gospel industry thrives in the wake of challenges.<\/p>\n

He said pushing Piesie Esther to win Artiste of the Year at the VGMAs is a way of projecting the gospel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noted that no one from the Board has influenced a Board Member or Academy member of the VGMA to vote for their artiste Piesie Esther.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich Board member can come out and say that a gospel artiste has lobbied me with money or with gift?\u201d he asked.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
George Quaye, a former Public Relations Officer for Charterhouse, the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Awards and the lead for ImageBureau, intimated in a tweet that it was wrong for the gospel people to influence the Board and Academy Members in anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Gospel people\u2019\u201d going round DESPERATELY doing all they can to \u201cINFLUENCE \u201d VGMA Academy and Board Members.\u00a0 \u201cWorldly\u201d acts are focusing on their fans as should be done!\u00a0\u00a0When we talk p3, then Gospel people bore! Smh,\u201d George wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n
\u201cEncourage your fans to vote! Lobby them! Push them! Beg! Implore them! Buy them credits! Get them data! Sing for them if you have to! Go from house to house if you must! Just leave the Board and Academy alone to do their work!!!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Piesie Esther is contesting other artistes such as Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Black Sherif, KiDi, King Promise, Joe Mettle, and Camidoh in the Artiste of the Year category.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 24th Vodafone Ghana Awards comes off Saturday May 6, 2023 at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
