Mark
Okraku
Mantey
who
is
the
deputy
tourism
minister
has
disclosed
that
Kwabena
Kwabena
became
a
bigger
brand
after
endorsing
the
NPP
ahead
of
the
2020
elections.
Sharing
his
view
on
the
impact
of
political
affiliations
on
celebrities,
he
disclosed
that
some
people’s
careers
tend
to
take
a
nose
dive
after
endorsing
political
parties.
According
to
him,
even
though
that
is
the
case
for
most
people,
some
others
tend
to
thrive
despite
their
political
endorsement
citing
Kwabena
Kwabena
as
an
example
of
people
who
benefitted.
He
said
although
Kwabena
Kwabena
was
a
big
brand
in
the
country,
he
became
bigger
after
endorsing
Nana
Akuffo
Addo.
“Kwabena
Kwabena
became
a
bigger
artiste
after
‘NPP
Wo
Soro’
[song].
Yea,
Kwabena
Kwabena
became
more
popular
after
endorsing
Candidate
Akufo-Addo.
So
if
you
have
your
issues,
don’t
blame
them
on
the
political
parties.
If
you
manage
yourself
well
and
position
yourself
well
as
a
brand,
you
will
thrive,”
he
stated.
Mark
Okraku
Mantey
continued
that
despite
being
in
politics
some
companies
he
has
worked
with
in
the
past
have
expressed
their
willingness
to
work
with
him
again
after
he
leaves
politics.
“I
spoke
with
some
companies
I
used
to
work
with.
They
said
when
I
am
done
with
politics,
they
are
ready
to
still
do
business
with
me,”
he
said.
