When visuals of Samini possibly partnering with the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) hit social media, the backlash from some political quarters was swift and loud.
But media personality Amelley Djosu isn’t having it. Her words? Sharp, sincere, and soaked in national pride. Here’s what her bold commentary reminds us all:
1. Talent is not a political party
Samini didn’t rise because of political favours—he rose because of talent, hustle, and consistency. We must stop measuring creative excellence by political alignment. Ghana is bigger than red or blue.
2. National institutions must stay neutral
The Ghana Tourism Authority is for Ghanaians, not party loyalists. When institutions start picking sides, we lose more than trust—we lose creativity, inclusivity, and unity.
3. Unity is the real power of the creative industry
From “Year of Return” to “Detty December,” Ghana’s biggest cultural successes happened when we brought everyone to the table—no political ID required. That’s what we need more of.
4. We are hurting our own artists with this division
By politicizing public platforms, we force creatives into corners. We silence rising voices and discourage collaboration. Why should any Ghanaian artist fear being labelled for working with a state agency?
5. Samini deserves support, not suspicion
His new single “CHAANA” with the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir is a masterclass in African unity. His upcoming album ORIGIN8A celebrates heritage and humanity. This is the kind of art we should amplify, not attack.
6. The creative economy is bigger than petty politics
Ghana’s creative space holds the power to transform lives, tourism, and global perception. But only if we stop the gatekeeping and start championing inclusion. Division kills innovation.
7.It’s time to paint our masterpiece—together
Amelley’s final message is clear: “Unity is our greatest masterpiece.” Let’s stop dimming our stars because of party lines. Let’s build a creative Ghana where every talent has room to shine.
