Blows Over NDC Song...Lucky Mensah vs Abeiku Santana

ABEIKU SANTANA

News-one has uncovered the actual cause of why ace broadcast journalist Abeiku Santana of Okay FM and Lucky Mensah, one of Ghana’s versatile highlife musicians, are at each other’s throat.

The two, according to checks, are at each other’s throat over the release of a campaign song for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), particularly for the party’s 2012 Presidential Candidate, Prof. John Atta Mills.

The broadcast journalist and the musician were best of friends until Lucky, about two months ago, released a single, ‘Atta Beye Amamo’, a song that endorses President Mills for a second term Presidency.
Moments after the song was released, Abeiku was the very first person to give it airplay on ‘Ekwanso Dwo Dwo’ on Okay 101.7 FM.

The contents of the song shocked listeners because Lucky Mensah had earlier released his’ Nkratuo’ song, perceived to be a sarcastic satire against President Mills.

Abeiku, in playing the song, asked several times if Lucky Mensah was not being inconsistent by first releasing a song perceived to be against the President, and then turning around to release a song singing his praises.

Lucky Mensah, on the other hand, took offence at Abeku’s comments and warned him to stay off the ‘Atta Beye Amamo’ song. Lucky, without giving details, accused Abeiku of acting hypocritically and even threatened to reveal a few negative things about the ace broadcaster.
