Scores of Ghanaians have taken a swipe at the organizers of the just ended CAF awards held in Ghana yesterday.

In what has generated huge public uproar, the awards, which was held at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), witnessed performances from Nigerian acts, Wizkid, Phyno, Flavour, Tiwa Savage and Olamide including Congolese singer Fally Ipupa.

But to the surprise of many Ghanaians, both those who watched and attendees, no Ghanaian musician performed except singer Efya who sang Ghana’s National Anthem while Kidi was asked to perform after the event was over, basically to empty seats when the live feed had been cut off.

Legal practitioner Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko in a tweet chided the organizers at the end of the program on Twitter, he said, “Almost a perfect programme at the CAF Awards soiled by lack of local content. But, why, they couldn’t find any Ghanaian musician? Pathetic!”

He added that “CAF was very disrespectful of Ghana tonight by putting up performances from artists across the continent, including several from Nigeria, and not a single one from Ghana was good enough to be on stage here in Accra? Shocking and, in fact, embarrassing for CAF.”

Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko also took a swipe at Nigerian music star Wizkid.
“Instead of treating us to some good Ghanaian performances, as well, CAF decided to populate the stage with Naija ones plus others, including a Nigerian artiste who was dressed as if he lost his way to the gym. I hear he is called Wizkid,” he said.
