According to him, the influence of music and movies on the psyche of the nation cannot be underestimated and therefore called for purpose of unity among the players.

Former President Mahama made the call when actors in the movie industry, known as Kumawood, and some musicians called on him on how to use their talent to support the limited registration exercise being organised by the EC.
