Social media is blazing with comments on Joy Fm’s decision to reject two NPP members as not meeting the standard to be on their flagship programme-News File.
The NPP says, “after sending Newsfile topics to us on Thursday, Joy Fm proposed Godfred Odame for the show. We later got back to them on Friday abt the inability of Mr Odame to appear on the show, and proposed Eric Twum, a member of the communications team. We opted for a communications team member bcos the topics were not technical or legal. The producer accepted Eric TWUM.
This morning (7:00 Saturday), the producer called again and pleaded if we could change Eric Twum, because his Bosses are not happy with him. Though we were hesitant initially, we accepted to change. We then decided to call Nana BOAKYE (Nana B, Deputy Executive Director of NSS) to go for the show, which the producer agreed.
Just when Nana B was abt to get there, the producer called again, saying, his Bosses want us to change him. So we shld call Nana B off. To tell us Nana B does not meet their standard is an insult. And we made them aware of that. They said they will proceed with no NPP rep, and we said ok, if Nana B can’t be accepted, then they can do what they like.”
