Lumba – I will sing for NDC if need be
Ace Ghanaian highlife artiste, Daddy Lumba has
expressed his readiness to write and sing a song
for the NDC flag bearer and President, John Evans
Atta Mills in the 2012 election campaign.

The highlife musician, who sang an endorsement
song for NPP flag bearer Nana Akufo-Addo in 2008,
told Adom News that he sees nothing wrong with
singing for politicians and their political
parties; describing it as purely business.

He said the song he did for Nana Akufo-Addo,
titled Yeko Yenim (We are moving forward), which
was used by the NPP as its official campaign song
for the 2008 elections, was based on the money he
made and not because he is a card bearing member
of the NPP.

He disclosed that Yeko Yenim was actually written
by the NPP and that all he did was to just sing.

Lumba’s decision to sing for the NPP did not go
down well with a section of the public who accused
the star of being sympathetic to the party.

But he is not perturbed by the negative comments.
He said every election, especially the campaign
period, comes with opportunities for musicians to
make money and he would take advantage of the
upcoming general elections to make money from both
the NPP and NDC.

He recalled that in 2008, the NDC also used his
song Aye Huhuuhu in their campaign despite the
fact that there was no official agreement on it.
