Dean of the School of Performing Arts of the University of Ghana, Legon, Professor Kofi Agyekum, popularly known as Opanyin Agyekum has warned journalists in the country against giving wrong reports during the general elections on 7th December.

Making a comment on this year's Presidential and Parliamentary elections, Opanyin Agyekum expressed worry about the media professionalism that is practiced in the nation.

He postulated that the peace of the nation as it depends on the political party aspirants also primarily relies on the media, hence it is incumbent on media practitioners to give accurate reportage, come December.

He advised the journalists to refrain from receiving kickbacks to influence their work.

''You must give accurate report without fear or favour; make sure what you tell the public is precisely what is happening on the field . . . It will not argur well for the nation should there be a case where media practitioners receive kickbacks to skew their reportage in favour of a candidate',' Prof. Kofi Agyekum said on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo''.

He further counseled the aspirants who lose the elections to peacefully accept their defeat without causing mayhem.
