Your Statement Was Harsh- Hopeson Adorye Sets The Record Straight to Captain Smart

Hopeson Adorye, a leading figure in the Movement for Change, has defended Captain Smart, the popular radio host facing backlash for his recent controversial remarks. While admitting that Captain Smart’s statements were strong, Adorye emphasized that the timing of the video, which was from 2023, means it couldn’t have had an impact on the recent events in Obuase.

Adorye drew a parallel between the treatment of Captain Smart and his own past experiences, remarking, “What the NPP tried to do to me is exactly what they are attempting to do to Captain Smart.” He condemned the way Captain Smart is being treated, stating, “The way they are handling Captain Smart is absolutely wrong.”

Reflecting on the matter, Adorye said, “If I had been there, I wouldn’t have let Captain Smart make those comments.” While acknowledging the harshness of the remarks, Adorye suggested that he understood the context in which they were made.

Additionally, Adorye expressed his belief that Ghanaians are not treating him fairly, and pointed out that some journalists are actively working to tarnish his reputation. “Ghanaians are being unfair to me, and some media people are engaging in commentary just to destroy Captain Smart,” he said. This reveals the struggles public figures like Adorye and Captain Smart face in the media.
