Ten years ago (and two years after leaving journalism school) I met Ghana’s sitting “sit-in” president at the National Youth Achievers Awards. I was awarded for Media Excellence, and the package included this incredible book by President John Dramani Mahama. I took it to him for an autograph and these were his kind words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Popular Investigative Journalist Mannaseh Azure Awuni has asserted that even though he disagree with former President John Dramani Mahama on some issues, he is the most tolerant Politician he knows.<\/p>\n
In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday, 27th October 2022, penned as follows;<\/p>\n
“Two months later, I celebrated his electoral victory, and\u00a0four years later, celebrated his defeat. We disagree on many things, but if I were to name the most tolerant politician I know, I wouldn’t think twice about my choice.<\/p>\n
At the recent dialogue on the safety of journalists organised by the German Embassy and DW Academy, I listed instances in the Mahama era, where his body language averted what could have been extremely dangerous moments for me.<\/p>\n
I also contrasted them with the body language of President Akufo-Addo, who said at the 2019 Bar Conference in Takoradi that the murder of Ahmed Suale could not be said to be an attack on press freedom.”<\/p>\n
As a journalist, I don’t ask to be liked or celebrated. That’s what celebrities crave. All that journalists ask for is tolerance of our divergent views. Manasseh Azure added.<\/p>\n
He added that If journalist views are injurious to your reputation, the law is clear on what to do. Physical attacks are not part of the options. If physical attacks were a prescription for irresponsible , then some of the politicians advocating that wouldn’t be alive to push that charge.<\/p>\n
