My Family Has Been Living Over Seas Even Before I Hit The Limelight- Obour Replies Akoo Nana

Bice Osei Kuffour, best known in showbiz as Obour, President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has finally responded to claims made by hiplife musician Akoo Nana that the the former spends the Union’s money extravagantly with his family abroad.

Akoo Nana, in a video recording some weeks ago accused the President of MUSIGA neglecting his responsibilities as leader of the Union leaving musicians to wallow in poverty whiles enriching his family living over seas with the Union’s money.

Obour, has however in response to these allegations rubbished the claims on Cosmopolitan Mix on Joy FM with Doreen Andoh.

He insisted that his family has been living in the United States since the days he had his hit single ‘Konkontibaa’ in 2004.

“Recently, I heard one from Akoo Nana. He hears that my family is in the US and [concludes] I have taken MUSIGA’s money. My family has been living in the US since Konkontibaa days,” Obour revealed.

According to the MUSIGA President, some of these comments that are passed about him are not true and this, he says is unfortunate.

He further stated that, “If you don’t know and you just say that Obour has made money [from MUSIGA], it is sad”, adding that he laughs off some of these pronouncements because they are baseless.

Obour mentioned that the numerous complaints he receives about his administration are borne out of the lack of understanding of MUSIGA’s role.

He disclosed that, in order for Ghanaians and other musicians not to misconstrue the roles of MUSIGA, the Union is strategizing to upgrade its communication machinery to better inform and educate and Ghanaians on the mandate of MUSIGA.
