Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, confronted the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, after the latter accused him of defending the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

During a panel discussion on Peace FM on Tuesday, May 6, 2024, the NPP spokesperson criticized the veteran journalist for allegedly siding with the ruling NDC.

“Uncle Kwesi is very seasoned, and his display this morning is designed to play a desperate defence for the NDC. I am scandalised,” Ahiagbah stated.

However, Kwesi Pratt Jnr did not take kindly to the accusation and vehemently countered the claim.

“I take serious exception to that. So I cannot express my views on matters? You can make your point, but it is unfair for you to do what you have done,” Pratt responded.

Ahiagbah, unwilling to retract his statement, replied: “I am saying you are playing a defence for the NDC. It is the point you have made, not you as a person. I didn’t say that you are NDC.”

In a show of disapproval over the association, Pratt declared: “I am expressing my views as a citizen of Ghana. You have to recognise that.”

Ahiagbah then responded: “Let me retract that and restate, what Uncle Kwesi has just done is the defence the NDC needs. But it is an impossible defence, an untenable defence.”
