Ghanaian highlife artist, Rex Omar, has expressed his support for the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts-designate, Abla Dzifa Gomashie.
Rex Omar, according to some people, was touted as a strong contender for the position due to his significant contributions to President John Dramani Mahama’s manifesto on creative arts.
However, the appointment was given to Dzifa Gomashie in a communiqué released by the president on January 17, 2024.
In an interview with Tony Best on Akoma FM’s Entertainment 360, the “Wo dofo ne hwan” hitmaker praised the decision, stating that Dzifa’s appointment is a step in the right direction.
He expressed confidence in her ability to excel in the role and clarified that he is not disappointed about not being selected for the role.
“If you analyse President Mahama’s appointments, you’ll notice that almost all the appointees served as deputy ministers in the previous administration. This puts them, including Dzifa, in a prime position to make an impact.
“I was given a task during the campaign, and it has ended. I have not asked anyone for a reward. With Dzifa’s wealth of experience, she has my full support to succeed,” Rex Omar explained.
With Dzifa Gomashie‘s appointment, many industry pundits speculate that Rex Omar might be considered for the position of deputy minister, given his extensive experience and contributions to the creative arts sector.
