“A man who sings, and is with the NPP, called Nicholas Omane Acheampong” is into visa connections and was once arrested for scamming some people, actor Mr Beautiful has alleged.

“Do you not remember Omane Acheampong took money from people promising to take them overseas but did not? He was arrested and was doing a 24-hour prison to prison tour. As he was coming out of Nungua cells on bail, Teshie police was waiting to take him away. As he was leaving the Teshie cells, La police was ready to take him away but Prophet Kobi intervened and paid some of the debts,” he narrated.

The Kumawood star challenged Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo to call Nicholas Omane Acheampong to confirm what he was saying.

Omane Acheampong “is buddies with the NPP’s Pius [Hadzide],” Mr Beautiful said. “They are mini thinkers. They are mentally shallow.”

Pius Enam Hadzide of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been seen in a viral video campaigning for the Asuogyaman parliamentary seat, promising to take constituents to the United States of America through the 2026 World Cup to go work and make money for their families. He cited helping people go to Australia through the 2018 Commonwealth Games, while he was a deputy minister of youth and sports – for which he was suspended by President Nana Akufo-Addo due to an ensuing scandal, only to be reinstated because, according to the president, he was “exonerated” after an investigation.

“A deep thinker will never make such a statement,” Mr Beautiful asserted. “You commit a crime and your president intervenes to clear you, people have forgotten about it, but because it’s a spirit living in you, you couldn’t keep your mouth shut. Now you want us to vote and get you into parliament.”

The comic star rebuked Pius Hadzide for seeking to “use his parliamentary office for visa connection – you don’t deserve such an office”.

Mr Beautiful wondered why rather than “creating jobs for the constituency, he wants to package people like rice, potatoes, tomatoes, snails and send them abroad”.

“If you had done a good job during your tenure, would you be seeking to take people out of Ghana? Pius has proven to me they have destroyed the country. Do you take people out of a flourishing place?” Mr Beautiful asked.
