Speaking to the Ghanaian Observer Newspaper during the weekend, Nana Asiedu Organdy, as the broadcaster is famously called by listeners expressed profuse happiness about his move.
According to him, the time had come for him to move on with life and to also explore the bigger platform Fox Fm provides to its broadcasters.
He intimated his desire to put up his best in the job he does so that the management and the station’s listeners can benefit from the talent God has endowed him with.
Expressing his delight at the deal, Nana Asiedu commended the management of Fox Fm for the confidence they have reposed in him and promised to do his best to make the station a vibrant and enviable brand in Ghana.
He thanked Rev Victor Kusi Boateng, General Overseer of the Power Chapel Worldwide for the prayer and counsel he offered him and promised to live up to the billing.
BACKGROUND:
Having deputized as a producer at Boss fm, a Kumasi based radio station in the early part of 2010, Nana Asiedu rose from that role to become the substantive morning show host from 2011-2014.
However, in 2015 his determination to stem the illegal mining that was being carried out by some unscrupulous persons in the hinterlands of the Ashanti Region incurred the wrath of some top Police officials who felt he was linking them to the illegal activity.
These officials including a former Police Commander, who the broadcaster frequently accused of aiding the activities of the dreaded Chinese illegal Miner, Aisha Huang ensured his employers terminated the contract they had with him.
So until Silver fm put pen to paper and signed him in the latter part of 2016, Oheneba Asiedu was a silent voice against illegal mining in the Kumasi metropolis.
