Halifax Ansah-Addo (L) and Dormaahene, Osagyefo Agyemang Badu II (R)
Media personality Halifax Ansah-Addo has expressed disappointment in the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Agyemang Badu II, following the latter’s recent comments regarding Kofi Adomah’s eye incident.
Netizens, including Kofi Adomah, who is currently at risk of losing his sight, have been hoping for some comforting words or actions from the Dormaahene to help alleviate his distress.
This is particularly because Kofi’s eye condition emerged after he was shot on the Dormaahene’s land (Dormaa), and because Kofi Adomah is a son of the Bono soil.
However, when the Dormahene finally spoke, it appears his statements were far from what many had expected.
Netizens have expressed disappointment that instead of offering words of solace or support for Kofi Adomah, the Dormaahene rather labelled the situation as a mere propaganda.
Reacting to this, Halifax Ansah-Addo, on United Showbiz, posed some questions to the Dormaahene.
He emphasised that all the evidence, including a video showing Kofi Adomah being shot in the eye while covering the festival in Dormaa, is circulating on social media.
Therefore, labelling the situation as propaganda is unfair.
“Which one is untrue about Kofi’s shooting? We have seen the video, and it is trending all over. So which one is the propaganda? I now understand in Kofi’s press conference where he said he wished he had died.
“An accident can happen to anyone. Also, I don’t know and have the information Dormaahene has which is making him say that Kofi’s incident is propaganda but the information many Ghanaians have shown that Kofi is not pretending,” he said.
Halifax also called for the Dormaahene to establish a better PR team that can help him navigate situations like this.
He pointed out that his statements in such a circumstance are causing bitterness and disappointment among Kofi Adomah and other netizens.
“Nana, please if your PR isn’t going well, I would advise you to hire a professional PR to do the work for you. It is someone’s work. So, get a professional to sell your story and show love to your indigene who is going blind because he had an occupational hazard while covering your festival. It kills the soul,” he added.
