Ex-President Kufuor collapsed Concert Party – Mr Beautiful
The John Agyekum Kufuor administration is allegedly to blame for the failure of the well-liked entertainment event, Concert Party, according to Mr. Beautiful.
The entertainment program that was typically presented at the National Theater was a combination of stage acting, music, and comedy. Weekly episodes of the program were also broadcast on Ghana’s national television.
“Concert party collapsed through policies of Kufuor but many are not aware. He brought a woman called Eva Lokko to head GBC, at the time our main sponsor was Key Soap.
“She hiked the fee Unilever was paying for the telecasting of the programme forcing them to withhold their sponsorship, that is when the entire enterprise collapsed,” he said.
The Key Soap Concert Party production, which featured a great number of performers, comedians, and musicians, was one of the most well-liked theatrical events in the past.
The Concert Party’s demise, in the opinion of many industry insiders, destroyed Ghana’s theater tradition.
