The Ghanaian radio landscape is buzzing with speculation that popular radio personality Nana Romeo may be poised to take over from broadcaster Abeiku Santana at Okay FM, a subsidiary of Despite Media Group.
The rumor mill has gone into an overdrive, with industry insiders suggesting that Abeiku Santana’s impending departure from the station, courtesy of his new appointment as Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, has created a vacancy that Nana Romeo is well-placed to fill.
Abeiku Santana, known for his engaging style and ability to connect with his audience, has built a solid reputation over the years, earning him a loyal following at Okay FM.
His departure, though not yet confirmed, is likely to send shockwaves through the radio community, given his stature and influence in the industry.
Nana Romeo, who has gained a substantial following in his own right, has made no secret of his admiration for Abeiku Santana, publicly referring to him as his “Godfather” in the media.
On Abeiku Santana’s birthday in 2023, Nana Romeo took to social media to express his gratitude, revealing that Abeiku Santana had been a pillar of support throughout his radio career, even gifting him with clothes and offering words of encouragement.
With his unique approach to broadcasting, which combines entertainment with thought-provoking discussions, Nana Romeo is seen as a strong contender to take over from Santana.
His ability to engage with audiences on social issues, alongside his vibrant personality, makes him an attractive prospect to fill the void left by Abeiku Santana’s departure.
While neither Okay FM nor Nana Romeo has officially confirmed the rumors, industry insiders suggest that the writing is on the wall.
