Serwaa Amihere receives backlashes on Twitter for conducting a poor interview with Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
A video fast spreading on social media has the screen goddess interviewing the Minister of information. Getting to the end of the conversation, the journalist asked why those involved in the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election incident have still not been punished. As a response to the question, the minister turned the table to ask Serwaa a question which caused her to fumble a little. This to many people was a clear indication that she was not abreast enough on that question.
This caused countless reactions from people on Twitter. In fact, it was as if they were waiting for her to make a mistake so they could take her to the slaughterhouse. Almost everyone that tweeted bashed her for not preparing enough for the interview. Some claimed that she is fond of not preparing for events as such. Videos that proved their point popped up on twitter as well. They said that journalism is way beyond hair and makeup therefore she must read a lot before interviewing someone like the Information minister. Serwaa’s case is actually the number one trend on Twitter now. However, she got some support from random people who believed the Minister was only smart enough to swerve the question and that does not make the GHone presenter dumb or unprepared.
Not surprising, Nana Ama Anamoah stepped in to defend Serwaa Amihere. She asked all those criticizing the award-winning journalist, to do themselves a favor and watch the full interview conducted by her. She further stated that discerning people would appreciate her questions and that “Clear-eyed folks” will by all means enjoy the interview.
Do yourselves a favour and watch the full interview conducted by @Serwaa_Amihere.
