Member
of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has appealed to
fellow business magnate and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Despite
Group, Dr. Osei Kwame Despite not to sack radio/television personality,
Valentina Agyeiwaah also known Afia Schwarzenegger from his company.
The
controversial radio presenter last week attacked the Assin Central MP
for allegedly to insult President John Mahama, his brother, Ibrahim
Mahama and his mother.
“I’m
not saying Mahama is the best or worst president ever in the country
but if you want to attack him, attack his governance but don’t accuse
his mother and brother of selling drugs” she stated.
She
further questioned Kennedy Agyapong about the work he does aside
politics. According to the peeved radio presenter, his Madina-based
radio station, Oman FM has collapsed.
“Kennedy
Agyapong, Ghanaians want me to ask you the kind of work you do. At
times we are not able to tell people the truth straight in their face.
Kennedy Agyapong what work do you do? That radio station which has
collapsed? The station which I cannot tune in even though I stay around
Madina?.” The attacks led to a response by the NPP firebrand on his
station, Oman FM where he among other things threatened to release naked
pictures of the presenter on social media.
The management of the Despite Group, owners of Okay FM have since penned an apology to the Legislator and his station, Oman FM.
"The
structure of the Despite Group of Companies is not to malign,
denigrate, insult or condone and support acts of insults against
personalities in society.
"We
hereby extend our unequivocal apology to the general public, Oman FM,
Honourable Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and all other persons who may have
been scandalized or have suffered in any way as a result of this
incident" portions of the statement read.
And
when the attention of Kennedy Agyapong was drawn to the statement on
Oman FM Tuesday, he said he has ‘decided to let everything go and have
compassion’ on the radio presenter.
“I
will urge Despite to let her go and work. I know people won’t agree but
we are now doing the job of President Mahama and I would have
compassion on her…,” he said.
The MP further entreated Afia Schwarzenegger not to let anyone use her as a conduit to insult others.
