NDC accuses NPP of misrepresenting journalist’s personal view on Free SHS, urges public to disregard:

The Ashanti Regional Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abass Nurudeen, has issued a press release addressing a video circulating online in which a journalist named Ohemaa Benz expressed her personal views on the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.

Nurudeen states that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is deliberately misrepresenting Ohemaa Benz’s opinions as the official stance of the newly elected Mahama administration. He clarifies that Ohemaa Benz is a journalist with Agyapa TV and a frequent critic of both H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, and not a representative of the party.

The NDC urges the public to disregard this alleged propaganda effort by the NPP, and reiterates that President John Dramani Mahama remains fully committed to improving the Free SHS policy to ensure it is more effective, inclusive, and accessible for all Ghanaian children.

PRESS RELEASE

DISREGARD NPP PROPAGANDA ON FREE SHS COMMENTS BY OHEMAA BENZ,A FEMALE JOURNALIST IN THE ASHANTI REGION

Our attention has been drawn to a circulating video featuring a female journalist, Ohemaa Benz, expressing her personal views on the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.

Unfortunately, these views are being deliberately misrepresented by NPP propagandists as the official position of the newly-elected Mahama administration.

For the avoidance of doubt, the individual in question, Ohemaa Benz, is a journalist with Agyapa TV and a regular panelist on the Atene show hosted by El Lizato.

She is widely known as one of the fiercest critics of H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), as evidenced by her commentary in the attached video.

We urge the general public to disregard this desperate propaganda effort by the NPP.

President John Dramani Mahama remains fully committed to his promise of enhancing the Free SHS policy, ensuring it becomes more effective, inclusive, and accessible to all Ghanaian children.

Signed,

Abass Nurudeen, (Esq.)

Ashanti Regional Communication Officer (ARCO)
