There was a contentious discussion between veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jr. and Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the head of communications for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, on Peace FM’s morning program, Kokrokoo.
The argument stemmed from a dispute about taking part in political protests.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye charged Kwesi Pratt with abandoning National Democratic Congress (NDC)-organized protests calling for improved administration.
Aboagye asserted that Pratt decided to criticize the New Patriotic Party (NPP) rather than participate in these protests in the previous governments.
Kwesi Pratt responded by defending his stance and saying it was unrealistic to expect someone his age to take part in protests.
Pratt highlighted the age-related physical limits in his statement expressing his disapproval with Aboagye’s remarks.
“I am not a child; I am 71 years old. The things that I did when I was 25 and 30 years old, physically, I cannot even do now. And for a young man like you to expect a 71-year-old man to go on a demonstration because of your freedom, you have a big problem,” Pratt said.
The conversation became a contentious debate when the dispute spread to other topics.
Pratt gave the presenter of the show a heads-up that if guests who he felt were rude to him were being included, he would not be going back to the studio.
