Mr. Ofori Atta has sued both the station and Sam George, demanding GHC100 million from the latter and Radio Gold since his reputation has been damaged by the comments.
Sam George has recently been in the news for criticizing the General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party(CPP), Ivor Greenstreet after the latter took a swipe at the National Democratic Congress(NDC) during its recently held congress.
Widespread criticism over the weekend compelled Sam George to apologize after his comment on Facebook against the General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP): “Greenstreet apparently needs some elevation to see the Better Ghana,” angered the Federation of the disabled .
Sam George has however refused to render an unqualified apology to Greenstreet.
“Mr. Ivor Greenstreet needs to elevate his thinking and it’s a position I stand by… I have not taken down the post from Facebook because the post is not an insult,” he told Citi Breakfast Show host Bernard Avle.
