NDC big shot apologises to Obaatanpa Radio

Mr Asiedu announced the decision during a meeting with the leadership of the GJA at the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra, where he also apologised to journalists across the country over the incident that led to the temporary closure of the Kasoa-based radio station.

The Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Richard Asiedu, yesterday withdrew his defamation lawsuit against Obaatanpa Radio after rendering an unqualified apology to the station and the media following demands by the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA).

The development followed a seven-day ultimatum issued by the GJA, which demanded that Mr Asiedu publicly apologise, withdraw his legal action, compensate the station for revenue lost during the shutdown and cooperate with police investigations into the incident.
