Naa Ashorkor Slams Salam Mustapha On Live TV For Downplaying OccupyJulorbiHouse Protest
Actress and TV personality Nana Ashorkor stopped Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Wing of the Governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), in his tracks for pooh-poohing the recent OccupyJulorbiHouse while interviewing him on TV3.
Naa Ashorkor reminded the young politician that it’s absolutely wrong for him to hide behind the incompetence of his party and use politics to downplay such an important facet of the demonstration.
She told Salam that she recently plied the motorway, and looking at its deplorable state, which has claimed several lives in recent times, it’s imperative that he and his government address the concerns of Ghanaians as demonstrated in the recent OccupyJulorbiHouse instead of literally mocking the protesters.
Her admonition is on the heels of a statement released on Sunday, September 24, 2023, in reaction to the demonstration, authored by Salam wherein he told the demonstrators that their actions were influenced by politics.
“I followed with keen interest a 3-Day demonstration organized by a group known as Democracy Hub. I want to first condemn the action of the police force on the first day of the demonstration.
I thought that the barbaric act that was meted on us in September 2015, where we were brutalised, served as a lesson for the police to learn from and never to repeat again but alas… I tried so hard in the 3 days of the protest to take home the most salient reason and demand for the protest, but nothing concrete. Except for the usual rhetoric of fix the road, motorway, cost of living and other tangential, which borders on politics,” the statement reads in part.
The statement noted that the hardship in the country is not the doing of the present administration but has been imposed by external issues. “We have all been affected by hardships brought upon us due to the economic crisis we have been through since 2021. It’s imperative to point to the ravaging consequences of COVID-19 and the current supply chain disruptions caused by the war in Eastern Europe. This has dealt a significant blow to our economic outlook as a country, just as the entire global economy has been struck by these catastrophic events.

The rest of the media should tell it to their faces like Naa Ashorkor is doing to this damage control merchant: pic.twitter.com/zvE19bYGfz
