REVEALED: Oppong Nkrumah deliberately avoiding media encounters with Kwakye Ofosu and Sammy Gyamfi
Kojo Vincent Oppong Nkrumah Minister of Information has been revealed to be deliberately avoiding any media co-pairing with opposition communicators Felix Kwakye Ofosu and Sammy Gyamfi.
Sources who spoke to MyNewsGh.com revealed since appointment as Information Minister, the Minister has steered cleared of the two NDC sharp communicators.
Sammy Gyamfi and Felix Kwakye have proven to be hard-nut for government communicators, including Oppong Nkrumah’s former Deputy Pius Hadzide.
Sammy Gyamfi has also been embarrassing government communicators with his communication skills on Radio and TV.
Information Minister Oppong Nkrumah appears to also be avoiding a similar experience by avoiding the Kwakye Ofosu and Sammy Gyamfi on any radio or TV encounter in his work. Mr. Oppong Nkrumah, sources say, prefers to be hosted alone without any other contender in the studio or the phone line.
The Information Minister reportedly enquires about any such arrangement of pairings before agreeing to engage in a “monologue” without any challenger to the facts he put out.
