There was unexpected drama on live television today when Jennifer Oforiwaa Prempeh, popularly known as Jennifer Queen, clashed with Hopeson Adorye during a morning political discussion on UTV.
Jennifer Queen, who serves as the Deputy Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Hopeson Adorye, a former NPP member now aligned with Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change, were both invited to share their views on current political issues. However, what began as a debate quickly turned into a fiery confrontation.
Midway through the show, Hopeson Adorye interrupted Jennifer while she was making a point. Displeased with her comments, he lashed out, sparking a heated argument. In the heat of the moment, Hopeson made a controversial remark: “I’ll beat you and push you off that chair if you keep talking nonsense,” he warned.
Jennifer Queen, visibly shocked and angered, responded sharply. “Is this what I came here for? To be disrespected and threatened on national television?” she asked. “This looks like a set-up. Was I brought here just to be disgraced?”
The show’s host struggled to regain control as the verbal exchange intensified, with many viewers stunned by the conduct of the two guests. Clips from the show have since gone viral on social media, triggering widespread reactions.
Some Ghanaians have condemned both parties, especially Hopeson, for his threatening remarks. Others have urged media platforms to set stricter guidelines for live political programs. The incident has reignited debate about civility in Ghanaian politics and the need for greater decorum during public discourse.
