Henry Nana Boakye
The
National Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana
Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has apologised for hitting NDC’s
Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi.
Nana
B appeared to throw his hands towards the head of the NDC communicator in the
studios of Asempa FM during a live show after Sammy Gyamfi allegedly made
comments attacking the Office of the President.
Sammy
could be heard in the video calling the NPP National Youth Organiser “stupid”
without any provocation.
Nana
B who found the verbal attacks to be provocative and unacceptable, lost his
cool and threw his hands at the vociferous NDC communicator, disrupting the
radio station’s programme in the process.
The
incident drew condemnation from certain quarters, with the NDC holding a press
conference where they called on the police to arrest Nana B within 24 hours.
The
NPP National Youth Organiser has since apologised for the incident saying it
will not happen again.
He,
however, called on the NDC communicator to be decorous and respectful in his
public utterances and must, at all times, respect the Office of the President.
“Regardless
of the repulsive, provocative conduct by the NDC’s National Communications Director
on the show which included unacceptable verbal attacks on the President and
myself, I am, upon sober reflection, apologising to listeners of Asempa FM and
Ghanaians for the manner in which I responded”, Nana B said in a statement.
“I will also encourage my junior brother, Sammy Gyamfi, to be decorous and respectful in his public utterances during such engagements and to, at all times, respect the high office of the President”, he added.
