Fred Duhoe, former Citi FM journalist, has recently come to the defense of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, calling on critics to reconsider their motivations and engage in respectful, fact-based debate. In his Facebook post, Duhoe lauds Ablakwa’s dedication, integrity, and commitment to public service, emphasizing the minister’s conviction and adherence to national interest despite facing opposition.
This defense, however, invites an important question: Why is Fred Duhoe supporting a minister who for the past eight years was a vocal critic of the previous government, frequently challenging its policies and leadership with intensity?
During that period, Ablakwa openly criticized many appointees of the Akufo-Addo administration and disclosed details about the president’s travels, some of which raised security concerns. Observers might wonder whether his criticisms were rooted in political convictions or other motivations. In the spirit of fair discourse, it is worth asking how Duhoe views this apparent shift from a staunch opponent to a defender of the same figure.
Fred Duhoe has long been an advocate for meaningful accountability and reasoned discussions in Ghanaian politics. With his background as a journalist deeply familiar with political dynamics and accountability, it would be enlightening to understand how he reconciles his current defense of Minister Ablakwa with the minister’s previous role as a fierce critic.
This conversation promises to shed light on the complexities of political roles, personal convictions, and the transformative nature of governance in Ghana. It is an opportunity to explore how political figures evolve and how supporters and critics alike navigate these changes in the pursuit of national interest.
