Akufo-Addo cautions media to be circumspect
Accra, Dec. 7, Ghanadot/GNA – The campaign office of Nana
Akufo-Addo on Sunday cautioned the media to be wary of
“unscrupulous politicians who want to use the media to
promote their own parochial agenda”.
In a statement issued by Mustapha Hamid, Spokesperson for
Nana Akufo-Addo, presidential candidate of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP), the media should also “serve as a filter for
filtering substance from chaff”.
“From the beginning of the contest until now, the media has
often times been used as a conduit for churning out lies and
vile propaganda against decent members of our society.”
Mr Hamid congratulated the media for the level of
professionalism so far displayed.
“The campaign team recognizes that the role of the media in
ensuring free, fair and transparent elections is crucial,”
he said.
“From this period until the post-election period, the media
would be required to continue to display this level of
professionalism and neutrality,” he added.
