A segment of today’s NewsFile featured the NDC’s aspiring member of Parliament for Abura Asebu Kwamankese (AAK), Mr. Felix Kwakye Ofosu, an ardent communicator and Mr. Pius Enam Hadzide of the NPP, who have both experienced the deputy ministerial portfolio.
Shortly into the discussion, Lawyer Samson Lardi Anyenini, the host of the programme, did a fact-checking of claims made during the week by President Akufo-Addo that the GreenBook, which partly catalogues some of the infrastructural projects executed by the Mills-Mahama regime, was only replete with “fantasy projects” and artistic impressions that do not exist on the ground.
Former President John Dramani Mahama, also in a rebuttal, asked those who doubt the existence of the infrastructural projects catalogued in the GreenBook to visit the project locations to fact-check for themselves.
The NDC also used its weekly meet the press to address same topic through Mr. Felix Kwakye Ofosu.
Listeners and viewers of today’s NewsFile programme could, however, not believe how the deputy minister for Information, Mr. Hadzide could not withstand the fact-checking and cross-examinations by the host of the programme as well as fellow debator, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu.
The discussion, which had over one thousand live viewers on Facebook alone, quickly extended to social media with many viewers and commentators scolding the deputy minister, Pius Hadzide for his lack of fact on the programme.
Deputy Information Minister Pius Hadzide does know understand what an ‘Artistic Impression’ is. He actually suggests that @NAkufoAddo doesn’t either and his claim that the GreenBook is full of fantasy projects is because of that. ????????????

I doubt Pius has had time to check what exactly is in the green book. After 3+ years of the books existence. Let’s allow him go back to revise his argument #newsfile @JOYNEWSONTV

#Newsfile is the one platform you can’t get away with propaganda on. You either back your claims with facts or you’ll be found out like Pius Enam Hadzide this morning. We must do our politics devoid of blatant propaganda and untruths.

Pius was dismantle, restructured and realign with the conscience of humanity. @Pius, we the Ewes are smart and intelligent, we are appalled by your horrific display on newsfile. Sad spectacle. pic.twitter.com/wiifqkYpx8

Rescue mission for happen right now. Pius Hadjide is bleeding bad bad. @FelixKwakyeOfo1 keeps jabbing and throwing all the relevant punches. It’s clear the Nana Addo rose on the basis of lies. Time really just exposed the NPP and is vindicating @JDMahama.
