Alhaji Haruna Alhassan, Deputy Managing Director of Metropolitan Entertainment Television (Metro TV) has categorically stated that he has no apology to render to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) because he is innocent of the allegations and issues raised by the ruling party about obvious bias being perpetrated against them by the station.
The NDC, on Thursday decided with immediate effect to boycott any political discussion programme on Metro TV due to what the ruling party describes as unfair treatment meted out to them by management of the Accra-based commercial television network. According to the NDC, the television station has conspired with some persons close to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to muscle-out NDC representatives from the station�s Good Morning Ghana programme.
A member of the party�s Communication Team, Kojo Twum Boafo who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Board (GFZB), was atypically prevented from representing the views of the NDC on the station�s flagship programme, �Good Morning Ghana�, on Thursday morning. Reason? That the NPP�s representative on the show, Gabby Otchere Darko, was not comfortable with the person of Kojo Twum Boafo as a co-panelist.
Haruna Alhassan was accused by Kojo Twum Boafo in an interview during PeaceFM News@6pm of masterminding the whole incident because of his affinity to the NPP and the grand designs he harbours of being named as a possible running mate to the flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo.
��they (Metro TV) only read comments from NPP activists on the show. Even most of the comments they read from their facebook wall are from NPP sympathizers like Olive, Maame Adwoa, even messages from TESCON are read, as if NDC members don�t send in comments�Just last week, he (Haruna) led an NPP delegation to Kumasi to mourn with the family of a Muslim cleric who lost his life recently�I say it on authority that Haruna Alhassan is the brain behind all this�listen, we�ve complained about this over a thousand times�,� he stated.
