George William Dickson

Former MUSIGA chairman exposed
Patience they say moves mountains, but erstwhile
Central Regional chairman of the Musicians Union
of Ghana (MUSIGA) George William Dickson surely
does not buy into this adage full of wisdom.

Readers will recall that a few months back Mr.
Dickson launched a scattering of attacks on the
President of MUSIGA, Bice Osei-Kuffour known in
showbiz circles as Obour.

These attacks which, according to Obour, were
carefully calculated lies and propaganda laced
with hatred, were well coordinated and thrown into
the public domain with the sole aim of tarnishing
his hard-earned reputation as president of
MUSIGA.

These revelations came to light when BEATWAVES
called on Obour to speak on reports making the
rounds in the media that a new group had emerged
with the former Central regional chairman as
president.

Obour said MUSIGA is an association and as such
has a membership who out of their free will saw
wisdom in joining.

He quizzed, 'In this era of unprecedented
civilization and democratic governance permeating
every aspect of human life and where autocratic
and dictatorial rules were being crashed, why
would I, a strong believer in democratic
governance, gag anybody from joining an
association they want to join or be worried about
an individual seeing a vision and dreaming of
becoming a president of a group?'

According to him, he was happy that all members of
the union had realised that the former Central
regional chairman of the union resigned due to his
personal agenda to form an association which he
had succeeded.

He declared that 'it hurts though when you avail
yourself to offer service and what certain people
do is to work very hard to pull you down in order
not to succeed.'

'I already know that leadership could be very
lonely sometimes and so I am really psyched up to
deliver on my mandate until such a time that the
good people of the union will have the opportunity
to either re-elect me or reject me.

As a believer in democracy whichever way the
people decide I will walk tall and proud that I
had the opportunity to once lead our great
organization, MUSIGA.

I have no doubt that my name will be written in
gold for the bold initiatives I embarked on during
my tenure and the modest achievements laying a
solid foundation for others to continue,' he
declared.

Obour stressed that he is happy Dickson is about
forming a new association: 'We can only wish him
well in his new endeavour. I hope he does not get
people like himself and his cronies within this
new association.'

The MUSIGA president noted he was grateful to all
who have solidly rallied behind him and asked for
their continuous support and prayers.

Obour indicated that he does not detest criticism
but appreciates constructive and objective
criticism which will positively impact on the
union.
