National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has apologised to the media over what he says is attacks by some supporters.
According to Mr Gyamfi, though the party expressed some misgivings regarding media reportage, it does not make them enemies.
Mr Gyamfi explained that the unidentified media workers were on their way to cover the party’s presser at its headquarters when the unfortunate incident occurred.
“My attention has just been drawn to the fact that some media men were nearly harassed on their way here but I would like to apologise for that. You are not our enemy and we are sorry,” he said.
He rendered the apology at a press conference on Thursday, December 17,2020.
Though it is not clear if any casualties were recorded, he asked party supporters to exercise restraint and not take the law into their own hands.
