‘Shut up and Let Me Finish’ – Kwesi Pratt Clashes with Miracles Aboagye Over NAPO Endorsement Senior journalist Kwesi Pratt and political analyst Miracles Aboagye engaged in a heated exchange on a live television show after disagreements over a recent endorsement for Education Minister Yaw Osei Adutwum, popularly known as NAPO. The incident occurred during a discussion on Pan African TV’s “Alhaji and Alhaji” program on Saturday, April 29, 2023. Aboagye had argued in favor of NAPO’s endorsement by some traditional rulers in the Ashanti Region, describing it as a reflection of the minister’s positive contributions to the education sector. However, Pratt vehemently objected to Aboagye’s views, accusing him of blindly supporting NAPO without considering allegations of corruption and mismanagement against the minister. “You cannot shut me up. This is my program, and I will allow you to speak when I’m done. Shut up and let me finish,” Pratt shouted at Aboagye, who tried to interject. The situation escalated as Aboagye accused Pratt of being biased against NAPO and of trying to silence dissenting opinions. “You are deliberately trying to tarnish NAPO’s reputation because he is from the ruling party. You are always against people from the NPP,” Aboagye retorted. The exchange continued for several minutes, with both men trading barbs and refusing to back down from their positions. Eventually, the program’s host, Alhaji Bature, had to intervene to restore order and move the discussion forward. The incident has sparked reactions on social media, with many criticizing both Pratt and Aboagye for their unprofessional conduct. Some have called for greater civility in political discourse, while others have expressed support for Pratt’s stance on holding politicians accountable. The endorsement of NAPO by some traditional rulers has been a contentious issue, with critics arguing that it is inappropriate for traditional authorities to endorse political candidates. The National House of Chiefs has since condemned the endorsement, stating that it violates the neutrality and integrity of the chieftaincy institution.Clash Between Kwesi Pratt and Miracles Aboagye Over Professor’s EndorsementClash Between Kwesi Pratt and Miracles Aboagye Over Professor’s Endorsement Veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr. engaged in a heated exchange with Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the communication director of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, over the interpretation of an endorsement by a professor from the University of Cape Coast.
