The composer of the song, Evangelist Isaac K. Aning, has however come out to explain the word came about and what it actually means.

According to the singer, the term was couched from a Dagbani word ‘bom’ which literally means fire.

In an exclusive interview with citinewsroom.com, he said he had to play with it to sound

good so he dropped the ‘m’ and made it repetitive so it would flow with the rhythm.

“Bobolebobo is a Dagomba language. ‘Bom’ in Dagbani means ‘fire.’ But I took off the ‘m’ because I realised if I used ‘bom’ for the song, it would not sound good. As a musician, I wanted to play with it, that is why you hear a repetition of the ‘bo’ and a ‘le’ somewhere,” he explained.

The ‘Bobolebobo’ song was massively played over last weekend during the the congress grounds of the NDC.

There is another version which has goaded the evangelist to take action against the

NDC former President John Mahama’s name in it.

Apparently, it is a campaign song that has been composed for the former president who has

announced his intention to contest for the NDC primaries ahead of the 2020 elections.
