Abeiku Santana under fire for criticizing Bawumia’s music streaming app

Okay FM presenter and NDC activist Abeiku Santana criticized NPP Presidential Candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s new music streaming app, dismissing it as “useless” because Nigeria lacks similar platforms despite its larger music industry.

Speaking at an NDC event in Kumasi, Santana argued that Ghana’s smaller industry doesn’t need such an app, yet contradicted himself by advocating a similar platform for Ghana’s film sector.

His comments have stirred debate, with critics questioning his logic and alleging political bias.

Industry stakeholders worry that Santana’s negative stance could hinder growth in Ghana’s entertainment sector, while others call for him to reassess his position.
