According to Ampong, the song highlights what the former president has been saying during his campaign tours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message in my song Emmoa Asem Nkoaa is not an insult to the former president or members of the NDC. It\u2019s simply part of our Akan language,\u201d he explained in an interview with Amansan Krakye.<\/p>\n<p>He further elaborated, \u201cI\u2019m pointing out that much of what the former president says revolves around food and animals, like his recent statement in Accra that when we talk about Kenkey, it\u2019s linked to digitalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ampong continued, \u201cHis promises seem to focus mainly on food and meat, which inspired me to write the song. The world is advancing with high-tech developments, not just discotheques.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated member of the New Patriotic Party, Ampong recently released his campaign song featuring Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, but he has faced criticism from various social media users.<\/p>\n<p>Over to you my fellow readers, what do you have to say about this and what do you make of the words of Great Ampong concerning the song of Emmoa Nkoaa about John Mahama?
