- Captain Smart fires back at Paul Adom Otchere in escalating media feud
- Hypocrisy allegations fly between the two Ghanaian broadcasters
- War of words continues with no end in sight
A heated dispute between Ghanaian broadcasters Captain Smart and Paul Adom Otchere has escalated, with both media personalities trading barbs. The feud began when Paul Adom Otchere criticized Captain Smart during his Good Evening Ghana show, calling him a “disgrace to journalism.”
“Chief, where did you learn journalism? How can you talk like that? Let us demonstrate that journalism is an intellectual discourse, not a competition of insults,” Paul Adom Otchere commented.
Captain Smart retaliated, accusing Paul Adom Otchere of hypocrisy and secretly criticizing the Nana Addo-Bawumia administration while publicly supporting it. “Paul Adom Otchere, you are the one who told me that if you had known that this is how Nana Addo would have governed Ghana, you wouldn’t have let us campaign for him. You said Nana Addo has destroyed Ghana and can’t even understand it,” he said.
Captain Smart further alleged that Paul Adom Otchere privately expressed frustrations about President Nana Addo’s governance, including his handling of cabinet reshuffles and lack of communication with national security when travelling. “Paul, really … last night you were struggling to make sense,” Captain Smart concluded, directly addressing his rival’s performance on television.
Paul Adom Otchere has yet to respond to the allegations. The feud between the two prominent media personalities continues to intensify.
