The Target of NPP is to try as hard as it can to bring this guy down, but is not working – Amoyaw

In an Official Facebook Post on 13 October 2026, political activist and commentator Alex Kwame Amoyaw offered a firm defense of National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi. His remarks addressed recent political attacks and media questioning directed at Gyamfi, framing them as a calculated campaign by opposition figures to undermine his influence.

Amoyaw wrote: “When you have an evil agenda at the back of your mind against someone, you hardly speak to the Facts, or with evidence. She said ‘it is out there’. But the question here is, has she taken her time to verify, or find out whether what she claims being out there is true or not? Certainly NO! The Target of the NPP is to try as hard as it can, to bring this guy down, whichever way possible, but it’s not working. I like the calm demeanor of Sammy Gyamfi in his response to the headless question.” The statement was both protective and critical, pointing out how unverified allegations are often weaponized in media engagements to target key political communicators.

The post comes against the backdrop of heightened political exchanges between the ruling NDC and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) across broadcast media channels. During recent interviews, opposition spokespersons and media interviewers raised unverified claims regarding government appointments and administrative affairs, prompting Gyamfi to deliver a measured response that drew praise from party loyalists.

Observers note that Amoyaw’s commentary underscores the tactical nature of partisan communications in Ghana’s political landscape. By contrasting unverified claims with Gyamfi’s composure under fire, the post highlighted how public figures navigate hostile questioning while maintaining focus on verified facts and strategic party messaging.

At its core, the post functions as both a critique of political smear tactics and a praise of communication discipline. Amoyaw emphasized that relying on rumor or unverified social media chatter—summarized by the phrase “it is out there”—exposes a lack of substance in political debates, ultimately failing to diminish the standing of disciplined party leaders.

The post has generated significant engagement online among party communicators and social media users. Supporters commended Amoyaw for pointing out the specious nature of the line of questioning, agreeing that Gyamfi handled the situation with remarkable poise. Critics, however, maintained that journalists and opposition critics have every right to put difficult questions to government officials, regardless of how unverified the claims may appear. Regardless of perspective, the commentary added fresh flavor to the ongoing discourse surrounding media scrutiny, political communication, and party rivalries in Ghana.
