The mad rush for tickets to this year’s official Christmas Party resulted in them being sold out only days after they were released to the public.

The 2017 edition of the Decemba 2 Rememba concert (#D2R2017)will feature a number of the nation’s biggest acts of the year,  including the ‘90’s bad girl’ Ebony Reigns, ‘Daavi’ MzVee, Lynx Entertainment’s newly-signed acts, Kidi and Kuami Eugene.

To whip up the ambience of the Christmas season, re-united Wutah will do justice to ‘Bronya,’ and other hit songs from their repertoire.

The Pride of the Northern Region, Fancy Gadam, King Promise of ‘Oh Yea’ fame, music producer and singer Magnom, ‘Jennifer Lomotey’ hitmaker Kurl Songx, Adina, B4Bonah and many other entertainers will be at this year’s Decemba 2 Rememba.

Decemba 2 Rememba, is an annual concert organised by Citi FM, and hosts the most sought-after artistes and entertainers on one stage.

According to the Programmes Manager of Citi FM, Jessica Opare-Saforo, this year’s edition promises to be electrifying as all the artistes have fervently prepared to give off their best.

“Every year of Christmas Eve, Citi FM puts together what is called the biggest concert which features all the hitmakers of the year so typically what we do is we scan the music landscape to see which artistes are making hits. And we have a surprise comedy act from Nigeria,” she said.

#D2R2017 is sponsored by Prime Insurance, Kwese TV, Ring and powered by Ved Investment.

There will be a live streaming of the event on social media powered by Citi TV.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Emmanuel Bombande, described the accusations as “petty” in an interview with Citi News’ Sixtus Dong Ullo.

The organizers of the lecture say they were denied access at the eleventh hour; despite previous meetings and assurances by managers of the facility which is under the Ministry.

[contextly_sidebar id=”0NGTIg20FJLqVOnmzONoT12DPYkl81oe”]They subsequently announced that the event will be held at the National Theatre.

They also accused government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; of trying to sabotage the event because it fears Dr Bawumia will expose how bad it had run the economy.

But Dr. Bombande explained that, the Ministry granted the Danquah Institute, organizers of the lecture the approval to use the facility and added that they went ahead to decorate the place for the lecture, but “we only heard the news yesterday [Wednesday] in the evening that they had a change of mind and they were relocating to another venue.”

Approval

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration manages the Accra International Conference Centre and persons seeking to use the facility make formal request to the Ministry.

“That is exactly what happened leading up to the approval by my Minister for the event organizers to use the Accra International Conference Centre. Once that approval was granted the management of the conference centre together with the event organizers proceeded with the technicalities and things that include: number of people, convenient of the hall, among others. My response to you is that, precisely on that process that involves us.”

“Anything outside out of this remit, I am not able to speak to. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has provided approval for the use of the conference centre and there is no need to go down to the petty level of what is being insinuated that they were denied the use of the conference centre by government.  As to the other speculation of who did what and when they did it and whether the event organizers together with the managers had agreed upon what was needed to be done, those are details that are not in the purview of government. Those are technical details between organizers and the managers of the Centre,” Mr. Bombande explained.

Event to come off at National Theatre

Meanwhile Citi News’ Sammi Wiafe reported that Dr. Bawumia’s aides are earnestly preparing the new venue, the National Theatre, to host the event at 4:00pm this evening.
