Veteran journalist, Samuel Nii Narku Dowuona, has thrown his full support behind the current President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Albert Dwumfour, commending him for his strong and consistent defense of journalists' rights.
Dowuona's endorsement, according to campaigneronline.com, comes as a significant turnaround, given his initial resistance to Dwumfour's leadership bid. "I campaigned vehemently against the presidency of Albert Dwumfuor," he admitted, revealing that he had instead backed Gayheart Edem Mensah during the GJA elections.
His earlier concerns stemmed from what he described as Dwumfour's perceived close ties to the CEO of Tobinco, a businessman whose open endorsement raised fears of external influence over the association.
Despite this, he clarified that his opposition was never politically or tribally motivated, even though Dwumfour had supporters from across the political spectrum.
