The organization overseeing the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), Charterhouse, has issued a firm challenge to gospel singer Brother Sammy, urging him to provide evidence to support recent accusations he leveled against fellow artist Nacee and the TGMA board.
In a prior interview, Brother Sammy alleged that Nacee’s involvement on the nomination board resulted in his exclusion from award nominations, implying bias against him and even suggesting that he would only be considered if Nacee were no longer alive.
In response to these allegations during a live interview on Hitz FM, Charterhouse’s Public Relations Officer, Robert Klah, countered Brother Sammy’s claims.
Klah clarified, “With respect to the board, I can confidently say that Nacee is not part of it. The Bible commands us to tell the truth. And Brother Sammy is a gospel musician, which means that he should be aligned with the tenets of the Bible.”
Issuing a direct challenge to Brother Sammy, Klah dared him to present any evidence substantiating Nacee’s connection with the board, advising him to refrain from disseminating misinformation.
“I dare him to prove, to submit any form of evidence that clearly shows that Nacee is on the board because this doesn’t sit well with us,” Klah emphasized. “And it’s inappropriate for him to say that. If you suspect it, that doesn’t mean that it is.”
Klah reassured that all artists’ submissions, including Brother Sammy’s, would undergo fair assessment for award nominations if presented in accordance with the guidelines.
“If he submits his work just like any other person, at the end of the day, it will be reviewed,” Klah explained. “And once it is reviewed and there is any merit to it in any of the categories, it will be certainly put in there.”
He wrapped up by urging everyone to prioritize truthfulness and steer clear of potential legal consequences arising from unfounded accusations.
