National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim has rendered an qualified apology to Dr. Osei Kwame Despite and Despite Media Group following the invasion of UTV by NPP thugs.
Over the weekend, some thugs alleged to be NPP supporters invaded the studios of UTV to attack A-Plus for tearing NPP’s letter and also defend the constant criticisms of the some panelists against the President Akufo-Addo and Veep Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
This uncivilized move by these NPP thugs dominated many media reportage since Monday with the public condemning the act however, some NPP supporters and even some media personalities have justified the attack.
Speaking at the studios of UTV, Mr. Stephen Ntim condemned the attack by the NPP thugs.
According to him, NPP and Despite Media have a long standing relationship and because of that the attack was not the best way to address the issue.
“We are not proud of the this, on behalf of the President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the General Secretary and all NPP national officers, I would like to apologize to Despite Media Group especially Dr. Osei Kwame Despite. We promise this incident will never happen again. We hope foster our relationship with you and make it stronger in the future,” Mr. Stephen Ntim said.

Relatedly, Mr. Ernest Owusu-Bempah has vehemently denied ever calling UTV’s entertainment late night show, United Showbiz program useless.
Speaking in a recent interview with Sefa Kayi on Peace FM, Owusu-Bempah boldly claimed he has never made such remarks anywhere.
“I heard it has been circulated in the media that I Owusu-Bempah has said one of yours shows on UTV is a useless show, I have never said that. I have never made a statement like that,” he denied.
