The press release highlighted the illegitimacy of the \u201cNew MUSIGA\u201d and called on all well-meaning musicians to denounce such actions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Article 7.7 of MUSIGA\u2019s constitution, which addresses conflicts of interest, was quoted to underscore the prohibition against holding membership in any musicians\u2019 union that undermines MUSIGA\u2019s legitimate interests or those of its affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>Acting President Bessa Simons made it clear that any member who joins the breakaway group will automatically forfeit their membership in MUSIGA. This stance serves as a warning to those contemplating aligning themselves with the \u201cNew MUSIGA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The timing of this press release coincides with MUSIGA\u2019s upcoming elections, set to take place on August 8, 2023. As the union prepares for this important event, it seeks to maintain unity and solidarity among its members, discouraging any attempts to fragment the organization.<\/p>\n<p>MUSIGA\u2019s statement sends a strong message to its members, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the union\u2019s constitution and promoting the collective interests of Ghanaian musicians. By discouraging the formation of rival unions and reaffirming its commitment to protecting the rights and welfare of its members, MUSIGA aims to preserve its integrity and continue advocating for the betterment of the Ghanaian music industry.<\/p>\n<p><!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-186753398-8941-64a3225699060\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=186753398&amp;post_id=8941&amp;origin=www.onemuzikgh.com&amp;obj_id=186753398-8941-64a3225699060\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-186753398-8941-64a3225699060\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"banner\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688441001_860_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688441001_287_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\"  class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1688441001_860_onemuzikgh_whatsapp.jpg\" alt=\"Banner Image\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 --><\/p>\n<p> <!-- A generated by theme --> <\/p>\n<p> <!-- end A --> <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has issued a stern warning to its members regarding the emergence of a breakaway group known as the \u201cNew MUSIGA.\u201d In an official press statement, Acting President Bessa Simons expressed concerns about the formation of this rival union, describing it as a deliberate attempt to sow confusion among MUSIGA\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
