Eyewitness News<\/strong>, he said, \u201cI am telling you on authority that what is circulating in the media was never part of the interview Bugri Naabu granted and Bugri Naabu said so during the interview. I was there when the interview was granted.\u201d<\/p>\nAccording to Mr. Shirac, concerns were raised after the official interview as to whether the journalist was still recording them off record. He said\u00a0the journalist gave assurances that \u201ceven if my recorder captures what you guys are discussing, I will delete or edit it.”<\/p>\n
\u201cBut to our surprise, what he said he was going to delete or edit was in the public domain,\u201d Mr. Shirac added.<\/p>\n
Journalist fires back – Shirac was not even present<\/strong><\/p>\nSpeaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong> later on however, the journalist who interviewed Bugri Naabu, Isaac Nognya, took offence to the claims and questioned why Mr. Shirac was even speaking to the matters when he [Shirac] was not in the vicinity of the interview.<\/p>\n\u201cI am a very professional journalist and I have discharged my duties professionally over the years and the said gentleman [Simak Shirac] was not in the said meeting,\u201d\u00a0Isaac Nognya asserted.<\/p>\n
The interview stemmed for the Northern Region NPP a fracas between the Minister for Gender, Women and Children Affairs,\u00a0Otiko Djaba and Bugri Naabu, which saw damning allegations thrown either way, including the claims that Otiko and Rockson\u00a0Bukari\u00a0were \u201cdeeply involved\u201d in the murder of the former NPP Upper East Regional Chairman.<\/p>\n
Isaac Nognya indicated that, he may have some more indicting sound bites as he said to the Eyewitness News\u00a0<\/strong>host, Umaru Sanda.<\/p>\n\u201cIf he[Simak Shirac] dares me, I will release the raw tape to you and you will listen to the one-one interview.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, look, the person who granted me the interview has no problem with the soundbite so you a second party should not say I shouldn\u2019t have sent that voice recording.\u201d<\/p>\n
