Mahama behaving like Donald Trump with media cabal allegation – Casley Hayford
Anti corruption crusader, Sydney Casley Hayford
has likened President Mahama to Republican
Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump, following
his [President Mahama]comments that a certain
group of people are blocking government’s
transformation message.

President Mahama in an interview with the Ovation
Magazine said a certain group of people have taken
control of the Ghanaian media and are blocking his
government’s message, a situation which in his
view, makes it difficult for people to know the
truth.

“It is populism, a certain group has taken
control of the media in Ghana and it makes it
difficult for people to discern the truth. So as
much as you are putting out the information, it is
either being blocked or distorted,” the
President said.

But speaking on Citi FM’s News Analysis
Programme, The Big Issue, Casley Hayford pointed
out that, government has no business making such
an allegation when it “controls the national
media platform.”

He believes the President sought to create
confusion with his comments.

“When you make statements like this and you use
these nefarious cabal, these nefarious group of
people who are not indentifiable then you are
behaving like Jerry John Rawligs and you are
behaving like a Donal Trump who is calling for a
complete destruction of the world because we will
be voting Hillary Clinton into authority.

“When people don’t like to accept what is the
fact and what is the real truth and you try and
break up what civil society and sensible people
are trying to establish in the world then you
create so much confusion .”
