The Bono Regional Deputy Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress, Mr. Eric Adjei has revealed how the Bono Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Mr. Kwame Baffoe popularly known as Abronye DC has paid Opera News to circulate fake news about Former President John Dramani Mahama.
His comment was in reaction to a recent publication by Opera News in which Abronye alleged that Former President Joh Mahama took home the fattest Ex-gratia of fourteen million Ghana cedis in 2013.
Mr. Eric Adjei wondered the reason and motivation behind the publication of an untrue story of that sort by Opera News.
“At a point that Ghanaians are wailing over dreadful economic hardship, this is what a so called online news portal Known as Opera News had to put out to resolve the economic catastrophe while destroying the reputation of revered and visionary leaders,” he stated.
According to him, “this form of yellow journalism spearheaded my this fake online portal should be treated with the contempt it deserves as it contains untruth and intended to mislead right thinking Ghanaians and divert public attention from focusing on seeking accountability from the failed Akuffo Addo government.”
“This is what Graham Greene termed as “the media is a word that has come to mean bad journalism”.”
He further urged Opera News to note that Ghanaians are not ready for this type of “nonsense reporting,” as it does not proffer any tangible solutions to deal with the current hardship in the economy.
He went further to order the online news portal to retract and apologize for this fake news and for lying and deceiving the general public.
“However, Abronye who purported to have made this baseless allegation should use same energy to tell Nana Akuffo Addo to stop using public funds meant to feed Senior High school students to rent luxurious private jet to enjoy with his side chick. He, Abronye, should also focus on how to improve upon his “bugabuga” leadership skills which led to his abysmal performance in the 2020 Parliamentary election in the Bono Region.,” he stated.
