Ghana’s vibrant radio landscape has witnessed a major shake-up as seasoned broadcaster Nana Romeo, born Abdul Karim, finds a new home at Okay 101.7 FM. The charismatic radio personality has officially joined the Despite Media Group, where he is set to take over the reins of the station’s flagship drive time program, Ekwanso Dwodwo.
This announcement comes just days after Romeo parted ways with Accra FM, a subsidiary of Class Media Group, where he had served with distinction for close to ten years. His transition marks not just a new chapter in his career but also a significant moment for Okay FM, as he replaces the iconic Abeiku Santana, who has long been synonymous with the Ekwanso Dwodwo brand.
Romeo broke the news with an exuberant post on his social media platforms, declaring:
“BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honored and thrilled to share that I have joined DESPITE MEDIA as the new host of the famous drive time show EKWANSO DWODWO on OKAY 101.7 FM.”
Describing the new role as an “exciting step” in his career, Romeo extended heartfelt appreciation to his family, fans, former colleagues, and employers. He also paid glowing tribute to influential figures within the Despite Media empire who played a role in his recruitment.
“A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR FATHER DR. OSEI KWAME DESPITE AND HIS BROTHER DR. ERNEST OFORI SARPONG, MR. KENNEDY OSEI AND TO DR. FADA DICKSON, A SELFLESS MAN AND A FATHER FOR ALL,” he wrote.
“I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY GIVEN ME 🙏 ALHAMDULILLAH! GLORY BE TO ALLAH 🙏”
Nana Romeo’s appointment has already generated excitement among fans and industry observers who anticipate a fresh twist to the drive time segment known for its dynamic blend of music, entertainment, social commentary, and listener engagement.
With his unique energy, on-air flair, and deep understanding of the media terrain, Nana Romeo’s takeover of Ekwanso Dwodwo signals a thrilling new era for the show and potentially, for drive-time radio in Ghana as a whole.
Listeners can now tune in to Okay 101.7 FM to catch Nana Romeo live on Ekwanso Dwodwo as he brings his signature touch to the microphone, promising nothing short of radio excellence.
