Gospel musician, Jack Alolome
Renowned gospel musician and staunch supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Jack Alolome, has shared the challenges he faced after publicly endorsing former President John Dramani Mahama during a campaign launch in Tamale.
In an interview with Accra FM, Jack Alolome revealed that his political stance led to mixed reactions from some of his acquaintances and even impacted his career.
He recounted how, shortly after his endorsement, he received calls from individuals expressing disappointment over his decision.
He also admitted that while he didn’t pay much attention to the backlash, he noticed that some of his bookings were cancelled without clear explanations.
“I went to Tamale for the campaign launch to perform, and that was where I publicly endorsed John Dramani Mahama. Right after that, people started calling me, one particular person called me to tell me he was disappointed in me.
“I didn’t really pay attention to that. But I noticed that, in some cases, I was booked for a show and was later told that it was canceled for one reason or another, even though the show was still ongoing,” he narrated.
He also narrated one notable incident from 2024 when he was booked to perform at a convention where Dr. Yaw Adu-Twum, the former Minister of Education, was a special guest.
“A few days before the event, I was told that I wouldn’t be allowed to perform. No reason was given for the sudden cancellation of my event,” he said.
Despite these setbacks, Jack Alolome has remained unwavering in his support for the NDC and John Mahama, emphasising that his political choices are a reflection of his personal convictions.
