Asiedu Nketia Appears On PEACE FM's 'Kokrokoo' After NDC's 2-year Boycott
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has seemingly returned to Peace FM's flagship morning 'Kokrokoo', following their long period of boycott after their National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, on Wednesday, 6th May 2020, issued an official directive to that effect.
The opposition party boycotted the 'Kokrokoo' programme following that edict signed by Sammy Gyamfi wherein he slammed the host of the programme, Kwami Sefa Kayi and his 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," portions of Sammy Gyamfi's statement read.
But the dust seems to have settled on the 27months old issue after General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, popularly called "General Mosquito", stormed the studios today.
He made an appearance on the show on Friday, August 12, 2022 after two years and three months of the party's non-appearance.
Although there is no official report from the party, the General Secretary's appearance may be an assurance to the public indicating the party has resolved to returning to the show, since Mr. Sefa Kayi has stated a number of times that he has taken no offence to Sammy Gyamfi's vituperations.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia joined Friday's panel briefly with alacrity as he discussed matters relating to the Electoral Commission and the National Democratic Congress's (NDC) boycott of the Commission's Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
