Mr Dennis Miracle Aboagye, the Director of Communications for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 2024 presidential campaign, has ridiculed former President John Mahama's proposal to establish a television station for creative arts players.

In a post on his Facebook wall dated November 13, Mr Aboagye contrasted the approaches of the two political figures, suggesting that Dr. Bawumia’s plan is more forward-thinking and accessible.

He wrote, “Simple decision making for creative art players: Dr. Bawumia: Mobile App (convenience, unrestricted access); John Mahama: TV Station.”

Mr Aboagye’s comment implies that Dr. Bawumia’s use of mobile technology, which offers greater convenience and unrestricted access to content, is a more progressive solution compared to Mahama’s idea of a traditional TV station.

The remark comes amid a growing political discourse about how best to support the creative arts industry in Ghana.

This critique follows Mahama’s announcement to create a dedicated television station for creative arts professionals in a meeting of creative arts players in the Ashanti region, a move he said would enhance opportunities for players in the sector.
