The Editor -in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako has dismmised claims by President John Dramani Mahama that there’s a media cabal blocking ‘my transformation’ message from being known to Ghanaians.
The President has expressed displeasure over what he asserts is the control of Ghana’s media by a cabal within the media who are blocking his message of transformation.
According to him, a certain group of people have a hold of the Ghanaian media to obstruct his government’s message and making it difficult for people to know the truth about his administration’s performance.
“It is populism, a certain group has taken control of the media in Ghana and it makes it difficult for people to discern the truth. So as much as you are putting out the information, it is either being blocked or distorted,”he said.
He made this revelation during an interview with Ovation Magazine.
But speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo show Wednesday, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako stated that contrary to the President’s claims, his government has had enough of media exposure by the pro NDC media who are selling his good works on both mainstream media and social media.
“The President’s statement that there’s a cabal in the media that there’s a cabal blocking his transformation message is so unfair to the media houses supporting the ruling NDC party and the President. In deed let me be honest, if you do an assessment they are doing very well for the transformation agenda, they are selling and marketing what the government has done. If you go to social media they, they are doing very well there, and yet the President says the transformation agenda is not known? then there’s some problem somewhere.
He added: “To say there’s a media cabal…of cause not identified, working against the projection of the transformation agenda is not true. They have had enough media exposure now, all over the place. If the President’s claim is the case, then it erases the issue if indeed the transformation agenda is impacting positively on the people we are lamenting that they don’t feel it, this is an interesting subject for political scientist to interrogate.”

No wonder, the President is at it again, LIES AS USUAL. When you used the tax payers' money to go campaigning throughout Ghana under the pretext of ACCOUNTING TO THE PEOPLE without telling us the cost what more exposure did you need. Do your pro-NDC media houses feature the opposition? Your plight is due to the fact that there is NO TRANSFORMATION message anywhere to be disseminated. You are out of touch with the people and whats happening on the ground. The people are fed up with your lies and insults by your lieutenants. NANA ALL THE WAY
S2.UPID OLD MAN....... WHAT POWERS DO YOU WIELD TO DOWNPLAY CLAIMS WHICH ARE FACTS???? DO YOU THINK WE ARE STILL IN THE ERA WHERE YOU MAKE FRIVOLOUS COMMENTS THEN BACK IT WITH FICTITIOUS DOCUMENTS, WHEN SOME ILLITERATES CARRY YOU ON THE SHOULDERS?? NOW THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG,, AND IT IS NOT SURPRISING YOU ARE THE FIRST TO JUMP TO THEIR DEFENSE. NAMES LIKE KWAME SEFA KAYI, EGBERT FAIBLE, KEN KURANCHI, YOURSELF AND A HOST OF THEM, IT WAS THOSE WHO WERE ONCE WITH THE SO CALLED CABAL, WHO SAW THEIR WICKED AGENDA THAT HINTED THE PRESIDENT, AND YOU WILL NOTICE THEY HAVE ALL SWAYED TO HIS SIDE BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO BE A PARTY TO EVIL. BEN EPHSON, ALFRED OGBAMEY, RANDY ABBEY, KWESI PRATT, AND MANY MORE..... YOU WERE ALL IN THE POCKETS OF MULTI MEDIA GROUPS, KWAME DESPITE, AND CO... OLD PHOOL..... BUT IT SERVES THE PRESIDENT RIGHT

A whining President - blaming others for his foibles ... Oh Mother Ghana... what did we do to deserve this???????
I can't think far for JDM aka Toaso nom whisky. You control about 80% of the media houses in ghana namely radio good, muntie, gold tv, ahoto radio, agoo radio and TV, denkyemuo fm, meridian radio, informer, lens, free press, Democrats, dispatch, insight etc etc. Even these days daily guide is dking adverts for you. So all these media houses couldn't propagate your messages...I can't indeed think far. Change is indeed coming.
