Nana Addo And NPP Must Stop Intimidating Journalists In Ghana

The NPP and their flagbearer have subjected some journalists in Ghana to supressiveness because their reportage are making their Nana Addo who is currently battling with serious internal problems as a result of his intolerant posture in the party and poor leadership unpopular.

They have decided to single out the two most powerful journalists/radio presenters with massive listeners to attack.

These are Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie and Adakabre Frimpong Manso. Adakabre who granted an interview to Joy FM has been forced to apologise or resign because some leading members of the embattled NPP are putting pressure on the owner of the radio station to sack him.

Is this the kind of opposition party awaiting to take up the mantle to govern Ghana?

What do you think will happen to journalists in Ghana should the NPP under Nana Addo win November 2016 elections? Your guess is as good as mine.

The NPP flagbearer's intolerant posture has led to the suspension of some party members either indefinitely or temporarily for disagreeing with him. Among the suspended members are:

Paul Afoko (National chairman)
Kwabena Agyepong (General Secretary )
Sammy Crabbe (National Vice Chaiman)
Dr Wereko Brobbey (Founding member )
Dr Arthur Kennedy (Founding member )
Dr Nyaho Tamakloe (Founding member ) and
some executive members in the Ashanti region.
Some journalists who have been verbally assaulted by NPP members including a leading member of the NPP, a financier and a close associate of Nana Addo who is also NPP MP for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong are: Mugabe and Afia Schwarzenegger.

Other journalists the NPP have decided to boycott their programs or put pressure on their CEO to sack them so that they can have media dominance and supremacy are: Afia Schwarzenegger, Mugabe, Kwame Nkrumah Tikisie and Frimpong Manso Adakabre.

It is sad to note that the NPP under former president Kuffour is not the same under twice-defeated presidential candidate, Nana Akuffo Addo. The party has now lost public trust and confidence as a credible alternative to the current government whose achievements are unprecedented.

NPP are now seen as a security threat to the nation after bringing three ex-police officers from South Africa to train some NPP members as private security men parallel to the national security officers of the nation.

Contract killing in the party has led to the death of some prominent members including party Chairman, Adam Mahama.

These aforementioned problems have made the NPP party so unpopular that they have decided to silence journalists to prevent the exposure of the current state of the party and the true character of its leadership.

Will this work?
