The former President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour ‘Obour’, has stated the need for a representative for the Creative Arts industry in parliament.

This is the first time he has spoken after his unfortunate loss at the NPP parliamentary primaries for the Asante Akyem Constituency to the incumbent MP, Kojo Asante Boateng just less than a month ago.

According to him, his loss was a step forward because it was his first time contesting.

He stated that the margin of his loss was very encouraging since he is relatively inexperienced compared to his vastly experienced opponent.

“We are not dwindling and stopping until that seat in parliament has been secured for the broader arts industry.”

“Being a musician is not just about performing. If as I sit now, people still enjoy my performance that is my music. Day in day out, I write some new stuff.”

“I am sure at the appropriate time when there is room, energy, the mood, and the peace of mind and everything is ready, I wouldn’t be surprised if I drop another banger. While my songs are played, they are performed.” He explained while speaking during an interview with Doreen Avio on Joy FM.
