Under Fire King Paluta Betrays Bawumia After Incessant NDC Attacks Following Involvement In NPP Campaign
King Paluta was spotted in the campaign bus of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
Musician, King Paluta has found himself at the heart of a political maelstrom after being spotted in the company of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 Presidential Candidate and Vice President. The incident, which occurred during one of Bawumia’s campaign activities, has spurred a cascade of speculations and attacks, particularly from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
King Paluta, amidst the furore, hastened to clarify his stance, betraying any implied allegiance to Bawumia. According to the artist, the encounter was nothing more than a serendipitous event, devoid of any political motivations. “Being captured in a bus with Bawumia was merely a coincidence,” King Paluta remarked with an air of bemused exasperation, “not a deliberate political statement.”
He further elaborated that the invitation to meet the Vice President was one he accepted out of sheer respect for Bawumia’s eminent position in the country. “Aside from his party affiliation, Bawumia is a big man in the country and an elder, so should I have shunned his call?” King Paluta questioned, his rhetorical inquiry underscoring the absurdity of rejecting such an opportunity.
The allegations of King Paluta pocketing a substantial payment for his appearance were met with his staunch defense. He revealed that any compensation received was merely to cover practical expenses, including fuel and other logistical costs. “My brand and services are not provided for free given my role as an entertainer,” he asserted, dismissing notions of impropriety.
King Paluta’s response, however, went beyond mere clarification. In a masterstroke of diplomatic artistry, he admonished Ghanaians against pigeonholing him into any political affiliation based on his presence at the NPP event. “Do not be shocked should you see me at any political gathering of another party,” he advised his fans, leaving the door wide open for future engagements across the political spectrum.
