In a shocking move, Halik Musah, a popular morning show host on Tamale Radio, has resigned due to political interference and intimidation. Musah, known for his objective journalism and vocal criticism of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President John Mahama, cited a clear mismatch between his values and those of the radio station.
Musah’s resignation follows a suspension for criticizing Mahama and the NDC on his show, as well as an attack by NDC hoodlums who damaged his car. The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the political interference and intimidation.
The Ghana Journalist Association President, Albert Dwumfour, has promised to engage the parties involved to address the matter. Musah’s resignation raises concerns about press freedom and the ability of journalists to speak truth to power without fear of retribution.
