In a surprising twist, influential media personality Shaharan Suhuyini has stepped into the ongoing controversy surrounding legendary musician Umar Janda’s remarks about Fancy Gadam’s identity as a Dagomba. Janda’s fiery rants questioning Gadam’s lineage sparked outrage among fans, leading to widespread discussion. However, Suhuyini, never one to shy away from expressing his opinions, took to Facebook to call out the musician, urging him to reconsider his approach to public commentary.
Suhuyini Shaharan emphasized the importance of unity over division in the entertainment industry, especially given the influence of personalities like Umar Janda. “Janda is no doubt a multitalented personality in the Creative Arts Industry but needs to tone down on negative commentaries, especially on radio,” Suhuyini Shaharan wrote. He further suggested that Janda’s recent live stream on Radio Tamale’s Facebook page, which he felt promoted ethnic divisions, should be removed. In his post, Suhuyini made it clear that tribalism has no place in the media, particularly in 2024.
Shaharan’s remarks took on a more serious tone as he delved into the dangers of tribalism, warning that such behavior could lead to divisions among ethnic groups, creating an “us vs. them” mentality that threatens national cohesion. He urged Radio Tamale to distance themselves from such divisive commentaries and called on all media platforms to discourage similar content from airing. His post resonated with many who agree that the media should focus on promoting unity, rather than fueling tribalism.
Interestingly, Mr. Shaharan’s intervention adds a new layer to the controversy, with fans now wondering whether Umar Janda will back down or continue with his outspoken stance. With tensions running high, all eyes are on Radio Tamale and Janda’s next move. The question remains: will unity prevail, or will the drama continue to unfold on our airwaves?
