Madam Grace Omaboe affectionately called Maame Dokono is sending a word of caution to all those in the Ghanaian entertainment industry to stay away from publicly engaging in party politics as election beckons.
According to her, the disadvantages of working hand in hand with a political party far outweighs the advantages they accumulate and this includes effects on their career.
Speaking during an interview on Hitz FM’s, Daybreak Hitz Show, Maame Dokono stressed with a lot of emphases that party politics is a no go area for any serious-minded entertainer.
“If the party you join loses, you will lose everything and then you will be sidelined by producers in the movie fraternity, and if you are in the movie industry, those doing movies will not use you because they will say people will not buy their product; they will avoid you.
“They will say your time has passed. I think the money you will get from them is only when you are campaigning. I will advise young ones to be very careful and remain neutral. I did experience that. It’s just recently that they started using me,” she said.
As the general elections draw close, political parties will be seeking to ride on the popularity and influence of entertainers and other celebrities to get their messages across.
Although some entertainers have already shown their political affiliations to the public, Maame Dokokno has advised that doing so is shooting oneself in the foot.
