Ohemaa Benz, a communicator with Agyapa TV and known for her critical stance towards Mahama, is accused of attempting to undermine his reputation while advancing the agenda of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a public statement, Abass Nurudeen urged Ghanaians to ignore Benz’s comments, describing them as misrepresentations of Mahama’s objectives.
The NDC’s statement highlighted that a video featuring Ohemaa Benz, where she shared her views on the Free SHS policy, was being distorted by NPP supporters to imply it reflected the stance of Mahama’s administration.
The statement further characterized Benz as a vocal critic of Mahama and the NDC, referencing her participation in the Atene show hosted by El Lizato.
The NDC labeled her remarks as an attempt at propaganda by the NPP.
Additionally, the statement reaffirmed Mahama’s dedication to improving the Free SHS initiative, emphasizing his intent to make it more effective and accessible for all children in Ghana.
Ohemaa Benz previously suggested that parents of senior high school students should refrain from pressuring President Mahama about the Free SHS policy, claiming it is not among his priorities.
She argued that Mahama is more focused on establishing a 24-hour economy rather than prioritizing the Free SHS initiative.
