The Multimedia Group has apologised to New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the two representatives who were denied participation in the broadcaster’s flagship news analysis show, Newsfile, on Saturday.
Host of the show Samson Lardi Ayenini had remarked that the two gentlemen who had been nominated by the party to represent it on the show did not meet the show's production standards.
However, The Multimedia Group wishes to state that the comment by the Newsfile host was not intended to denigrate the two individuals nominated by the NPP to represent it on the show.
Below is the full statement:
This comment by the host of Newsfile seems to have hurt many people and has generated a controversy.
The intention was not to denigrate the person of those who the NPP chose to represent it on Newsfile yesterday.
The decision on who appears on any of our shows rests with the editorial team and we would stand by those decisions.
However, we apologise unreservedly for the use of words that suggest that the two gentlemen are not up to the standard.
We apologise.

This Ayenini boy is making my blood boil. I will refrain from commenting as I might slip and say "things". I don't trust myself to speak.. Aaaaaah....
This is the worst possible apology ever. The apology itself is an insult. If you stand by something or somebody why apologise for it?
Koliko I think that's is the worst thing u could had ever done. There was a reason y they had to come out again and apologise. Why won't u put your self under the shoes of the afflicted ones at least in a way instead of reigning insults that wouldn't change what has already happened? Think about it. It could had been u or a relation. For goodness sake Pls we should try as much as possible to be personal here than making the whole thing politically biased.
Koliko you a fo*l and will continue to be a fo*l. What shows that Samson Lardi Ayenini is more qualified than Nana 'B'? they are have degrees and being a lawyer and he Nana B taking another course at the KNUST doesn't make him sub standard and he Samson Ayenini somebody unequal. What English language is used there that he doesn't understand? the English Ghanaians speak on radios are not even used to write news papers like the New York Post or New York times they don't need big words to make them perfect but words they think is understandable to their readers and listeners. These Latter day saints in Ghana media are too full of themselves that no wonder they can't perform when giving the job. Tommy Annan Forson and others formerly at the GBC who even spoke English you couldn't differentiate them and the English speaking white people never said this,how much more English with accent? Look at the disgrace of Stan Dogbe at the presidency and Suhuyini in parliament so disgusting and this Lard Ayenini is adding himself to them,so what will happen to them if they comport themselves to decency and respect than always on the wrong side and Ghanaians hating them by their actions?
What kind ofdouble speak apology is this. The comment was clearly meant to denigrate and was uncalled for. The arrogance of the host is unpardonable. If Amaliba is good for the show, Nana B is more than qualified to render an opinion on any subject on government's behalf
Oh multi media why apologise? In fact, nana B is not just a substandard brain but also a noisy ffool.
