WITH 2020 being an election year, political campaigns will heat up soon as the various parties try to convince voters to choose them.
As has been the trend, showbiz personalities will be actively involved in the campaigns and will hope their star power will influence people to vote for the parties they will support.
However, one celebrity who may not join the campaign wagon this year is Hiplife artiste Wisa Greid as he says he will not be involved in political engagements, especially if they’re free.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz recently, the Ekiki Me singer, Wisa, who publicly declared his support for the then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 general election, said his move earned him a lot of insults but he had nothing to show for his efforts since the party came into power.
“I have vowed not to get involved in politics again but if I’m paid good money, I don’t mind campaigning for any political party.
“This time around, there will not be any free campaign for the NPP. I’m ready to work with any political party which approaches me and is ready to pay me well. I just wanted to see the NPP in government and that was why I campaigned in 2016.
“I started supporting them on my own until my efforts were recognised and they officially contacted me to support the campaign. Even with that, I didn’t earn a pesewa but I always got blasted on social media for taking money from them to do their bidding.
Wisa continued,
“If that is the case, then I have to get paid for my services and that is what I intend to do. It will be ‘no cash, no campaign.’
