Popular Ghanaian Gospel singer, Philipa Baafi, has reacted to claims of composing a song for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2008 general elections.
Ahead of the 2008 elections in Ghana, the NPP used Philipa’s ‘Go Higher’ song at campaign rallies.
People speculated that she composed the song for the party.
But speaking in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Philipa Baafi denied composing ‘Go Higher’ for NPP.
“I did not do that song for the NPP. It is a song that touched on victory and the party loved it so they hopped on it to use for their campaign and they paid for copyrights.
“I don’t do songs for political parties. I sing on realities, about God and positivity and that is why my songs usually catch people’s attention,” she elucidated.
Philipa Baafi also stated that she is not interested in composing a song for any political party.
However, these political parties can pay for copyrights if they want to use her songs.
“I won’t accept anything to compose a song for any political party. I know my mission clearly and I will stand by it.
“If I have a song and a particular political party wants to use it, they just pay for copyrights and go ahead with it. But for me to be paid to compose a song specifically for a political party, that won’t happen,” Philipa Baafi added.
