Good Evening,
We wish to bring to your attention that we are withdrawing from the upcoming Kusaug Excellence Awards (KEA21) because we do not want to associate ourselves with any other Tribal event or be seen to be promoting other tribal events except that of Bissa.
We are in support of any member who wishes to contest on any neutral awards platform. Our very own Star Gyal is contesting as Upper East Peace Icon at the Upper East Peace and Entertainment Awards 21. We encourage members to support her by voting for her.
Let’s strive to support and promote our tribe and disassociate ourselves from any other tribal events in Bawku (Bissaku).
Signed….. ✍🏽
Bissa Kodokupa executive members
