MUSIGA planning something huge in memory of former President Rawlings- Bessa Simons
Acting President of the Musicians Union of Ghana(MUSIGA), Bessa Simons has disclosed that the group is planning something huge in memory of the late first President of the Fourth Republic, Flt.Lt. Jerry John Rawlings.
The former President was laid to rest on Wednesday, January, 27, 2021.
Speaking to Sammy Flex on Zylofon FM’s Showbiz Agenda programme on Tuesday, and monitored by this paper, he said, even though, the late JJ Rawlings had been buried, it was not finished yet.
“We are planning something big for the late president be rest assured, we will show our gratitude and love in a different way,” he revealed.
He added that MUSIGA had not forgotten the legacy of the former President, through whose ingenuity gave them their headquarters, among other support anytime they lost a musician and called on him.
“JJ Rawlings has been there for musicians more than any president and he is one person we hold in high esteem,” he said.
Bessa Simons further noted that a lot of factors caused the delay, adding that a tribute song would be part of the package.
For him, “it does not matter the time, the most important thing is, it will be in the memory of the former president. The best is yet to come.”
Shock and sadness swept through the country on Thursday, November12, 2020 following news that the former President Jerry John Rawlings had died at age 73 after a short illness.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
