Tell Afenyo-Markin Media General Will Be Covering The Vetting Live- Captain Smart’s On NPP Boycott

Controversial Ghanaian broadcast journalist, Captain Smart has described the New Patriotic Party’s decision to boycott Media General as a bad move, urging the party to focus on resolving their internal challenges instead of targeting the media.

Speaking today on the matter, Captain Smart dismissed the boycott’s impact, stating, “Who said we even need you? You will come by yourself. We don’t care about you.” He further challenged the leadership of the party, specifically mentioning Minority Leader Alexander Kwabena Afenyo-Markin, asking him to boycott the Parliamentary vetting committee too, because the Media General would be covering it live regardless.

“Tell Afenyo-Markin to boycott the vetting committee because when he sits there, we will cover it live. We don’t really care. The party has collapsed.” He said.

The outspoken journalist criticised the state of the New Patriotic Party, claiming that the party is on the verge of collapse. “The party has collapsed. Boycotting Media General is not only childish, but a senseless move. They should focus on fixing their collapsed party. If they joke with me, I will make sure they stay in opposition forever.” He declared.

Captain Smart maintained that the Media General is not reliant on the New Patriotic Party and insisted the boycott would not hinder their operations. He concluded his remarks by emphasising the media’s independence adding “we don’t even need them, they should go,”

The New Patriotic Party through Ahiagbah announced that the party will be withdrawing from all Media General’s Platforms over alleged bias in media group’s reportage and panel pairing. The move sparked widespread reactions, with many questioning the effectiveness of the decision in addressing the party’s concerns.

The latest development adds to the growing tension between political parties and the media in Ghana, raising concerns about the implications for press freedom and accountability.
