Yaw Ampofo Ankrah Hit Back At 'Cheap Journalists' For Their 'Evil' Accusations

Yaw Ampofo Ankrah launched a vitriolic attack on some 'cheap journalists' for their incessant fabrication of lies on him.

The SuperSport presenter who is also the brother of the immediate past Sport minister Evis Afriyie Ankrah, has been receiving some flak from the media for allegedly carrying supporters to Brazil. The media are also accusing the former minister of sports for being nepotistic.

Ampofo Ankrah just couldn't take the criticism any longer so decided to come air  to dispel all the allegations against him.  Speaking to his former employers Joy Fm, the renowned sport journalist said:

"Firstly, let it be clear that my trip to Brazil was sponsored 100% by my employers Supersport. I did not go on GFA ticket, a sponsor’s ticket neither was I sent there by the government. In fact, I have never been sponsored by any government to any World Cup Tournament; Germany 2006 (Metro tv), South Africa 2010 (Etv), AFCON 2013 (Oxigen) and Brazil 2014 (Supersport)".

He added,  ‘’I am very proud of the fact that I have never been sponsored by any government to any world cup tournament and the records are there to prove it. I challenge those cowards making these evil allegations to come forward and declare their identities’’

‘’Is it not strange that nobody can boldly come forward and put these allegations to my face? They have no balls so they chose to use cheap journalists to do their dirty work’’, he quizzed.

Speaking in a voice charged with emotion and anger, Mr Ampofo Ankrah continued,   ‘’my silence may have been misconstrued for acceptance of these lies. But it is rather because I cannot waste precious time in responding to such wild allegations since I am competing with international brands and networks’’

Well I really empathize with Yaw. It is high time Ghanaians stop criticizing and hating people just because they are related to people in high office. We must judge people based on their competence and not family relations.

Ampofo Ankrah is a seasoned sport journalist who has been in the game since the early noughties. He is not successful because of his brother or the NDC government. Everything is due to sheer hard work and skill.
