Famous Ghanaian gospel singer Nana Osei, also known as Nacee, believes in the new president of the Musicians Union of Ghana, Bessa Simons.
During the TV show on TV3 with Berla Mundi on November 22, Nacee expressed his confidence in Bessa Simons’ abilities and believes she is qualified for the job. He asked his coworkers to work together and help the Bessa-led administration reach its goals.
“I have faith in Uncle Bessa. I think he knows all about the system, music organization, and what we need to do. ” We have to work together and let him be in charge to get this done. Even if he isn’t very skilled, he will try his hardest when we make him in charge,” he said.
Nacee told Bessa Simons to be prepared to handle and accept criticism,even if it’s tough to hear.
“He needs to be okay with getting feedback because musicians are sensitive and some times it’s best not to react too strongly when people express their thoughts. “”Listen to both criticism and praise,” he said.
He got 324 votes and his opponent Ras Caleb Appiah-Levi got 66 votes. He became the President in 2019 after Obour stopped being the President. Other leaders of the union were chosen too.
The MUSIGA elections have been delayed five times since 2019 because two members took the union to court and wanted it to explain its money situation.
The court rejected the request to stop something and told the people suing to give money to the union. The new MUSIGA leaders were supposed to make the union better and bring in more musicians.
