Owusu Banahene, a member of the Communication team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has hinted that the party will return to Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' after years of boycott.
Their boycott according to a statement from the party was due to "unfair" treatment from "dictator" Kwami Sefa Kayi and his "poodle" production team.
"Although we appreciate the production and editorial discretion of the station to give their platform to whoever they deem fit, we consider it unfair for the NPP to maintain their two (2) slots on Fridays while the NDC’s two slots on Wednesdays are reduced to one (1), to satisfy the whim of a dictatorial Host and his poodle. In protest to this flagrant disregard for fairness by the Host and Production Crew of the program, the National Communication Bureau of the NDC has decided to cease the placement of party communicators on the 'Kokrokoo' show forthwith," portion of the statement read.
Speaking on Peace FM's The Platform programme, Banahene said: with a new national chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and a now married National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, the party might reconsider their stand.
Listen to why Banahene thinks Sammy Gyamfi's marriage might help in ending their boycott

Do people listen to this Liars and nation wreckers? NSC is full of propaganda and nothing else!
Ohemaa-Ba, you have made my day. The NDC's dictatorial stance, based on the principle that "if you disagree with us, you are against us," should be discouraged in any form in our democratic dispensation. Democracy strives for diversity of opinion so that, in the end, popular opinion carries the vote. The PNDC's militant era is long overdue.
I do not believe Peace FM needs the NDC, but rather the NDC. The Peace FM/Kokrokooo program is a powerhouse in terms of credibility; every sane Ghanaian knows it and recognizes it as such. Kwami Sefa Kayi has made his mark as an excellent, humane-centered, credible journalist, and no amount of NDC mischief can taint his hard-earned image. It is the NDC that needs the wide-ranging platform of the Kokrokoo program. If I were in charge of the Peace FM, I would strongly advocate for the total exclusion of the NDC. The NDC cannot then choose and paste as they please, but must conform to and respect the ethics of journalism. Kwami has made his mark in his field by winning so many awards in Ghana. Hence, the stress is on respect, credibility, and integrity.
We do not need you, noise makers, just to confuse us.
You can boycott all the radio stations in Ghana. Who cares?
Who cares!!!
