The continuing feud between fellow journalist Paul Adom Otchere and Ghanaian broadcaster Captain Smart has intensified when Captain Smart retaliated.
The two well-known media figures argued when Paul Adom Otchere called Captain Smart a disgrace to journalism during his segment on Good Evening Ghana.
“Chief, where did you learn journalism? How can you talk like that? Let us demonstrate that journalism is an intellectual discourse, not a competition of insults,” Paul commented.
Vice President Dr. Bawumia’s public interactions with the media, in which Captain Smart got into a furious altercation with them, caused the conflict to worsen. Not one to back down, Captain Smart called out prominent members of the media, notably Paul Adom Otchere, who had attended and lauded Dr. Bawumia.
According to Captain Smart, Paul is a hypocrite who privately criticizes the Nana Addo-Bawumia administration while publicly seeming to favor it.
“Paul Adom Otchere, you are the one who told me that if you had known that this is how Nana Addo would have governed Ghana, you wouldn’t have let us campaign for him. You said Nana Addo has destroyed Ghana and can’t even understand it,” he said.
Captain Smart claimed during his show on Onua TV that Paul privately expressed frustrations about President Nana Addo’s governance, including his handling of cabinet reshuffles and lack of communication with national security when travelling.
“Paul, really … last night you were struggling to make sense,” Captain Smart concluded, directly addressing his rival’s performance on television. Paul Adom Otchere is yet to respond to the allegation.
