AJ Nelson launches “Wise Up For Peace” campaign
Uncategorized December 6, 2016, Comments OffGhanaian rap artiste, AJ Nelson, is the latest Ghanaian celebrity to launch a peace cause ahead of the
December 7 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Dubbed “Wise Up For Peace”, AJ Nelson carries a message of peace and making choices based on issues
and with wisdom.
Explaining why he is doing this peace campaign after his colleagues have taken the lead, AJ said he is not
following the same trait. Instead, he is adopting a social media strategy and will involve the masses
rather than influential people.
“I am not doing this campaign because my colleagues have done the same. There’s an Akan proverb that
says ‘plenty fish doesn’t spoil the soup’ and if you have been following me from day one, you would
realise that I have always been a peace ambassador. Through my music and interviews, I have been
preaching peace.
“My peace campaign is not the same as what some of my colleagues are doing. Me, being a poet and a
writer, I like to put my works on paper so people can see and talk about it. I have my own peace quotes
which I didn’t lift from anyone. I would share them on social media and after that, we will follow up with
a video. I will not involve any celebrity because when it comes to war, you will not see them anywhere so
I will involve the masses,” he said.
Many celebrities launched their campaigns early and AJ’s campaign came at the late hour but he has his
reasons. With just a few days to the elections, AJ Nelson believes he would make a better impact with
his campaign after the political rallies.
“I started late because I didn’t want to be competing with any political party. They are busy campaigning
and getting people’s attention, and since I need the masses’ attention, I had to wait for the rallies and
campaigns to be over. And like they say, it’s better than never so we can do a lot within this short period.
“I am not doing this because I think there would be a war but just want to help to maintain the peace we
are enjoying in the country,” he concluded.
“Wise Up For Peace” campaign is an initiative of Corna Rock Music, a label owned by AJ Nelson.
