The political landscape ignited with controversy as Akwasi Addai Odike, a presidential hopeful, found himself embroiled in a heated exchange with Alibaba, a radio host at Angel FM.
The confrontation unfolded during a live broadcast when Alibaba pressed Odike about a contract he allegedly secured under the government’s “1 District 1 Factory” initiative, which remains unfulfilled.
The atmosphere grew tense as Odike reacted with evident hostility to the line of questioning, expressing outrage at what he deemed an intrusion into his private affairs.
“The contract was private,” Odike asserted, dismissing the journalist’s inquiries and challenging his authority to scrutinize the matter on air.
The confrontation underscored the challenges facing journalists in their role as watchdogs of democracy, as they strive to hold elected officials and aspiring leaders accountable for their actions.
As the nation gears up for the upcoming elections, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of open dialogue and accountability in shaping the future of governance.
