PETITION ON “MAKOMA” SNUB
We humbly write to your honorable board to demand some explanations in connection with the snub of Makoma by King Paluta, a song we duly submitted for consideration, which we believe remains Ghana’s most popular song released within the year under review, generating the most excitement among music lovers to date.
We filed Makoma for:
Most Popular Song
Record of the Year
Hiplife Song of the Year
Songwriter of the year – King Paluta
The concern has become necessary after the team realized none of the categories we submitted the said material for was considered after the official nominees announcement.
We believe in the competence of the TGMA board and trust that a convincing reason be issued to our team, music enthusiasts and general public on this unpopular decision of the board.
We are confident that “MAKOMA” breaches no moral or ethical requirement of the board and will be ready to engage for possible consideration of the song in the categories submitted for earlier.
