You Will Sit In That Wheelchair Until God Comes: Angel FM Presenter Blasts Ex-President Kufuor
A female broadcaster from Angel FM has triggered a wave of public criticism after launching a harsh verbal attack on former President John Agyekum Kufuor. Her comments came in response to Kufuor’s recent appeal for President Nana Akufo-Addo to offer an apology to the Ghanaian people for the economic struggles they are currently facing. The presenter slammed the former president, calling him “hypocritical†and claiming his present health condition—being confined to a wheelchair—is a form of divine retribution for wrongdoings committed during his time in office. She went on to label Kufuor as “cruel,†alleging that his leadership style set the tone for Akufo-Addo’s current approach to governance. In her view, the hardships Ghanaians are experiencing now are a continuation of issues that began under Kufuor’s administration. The presenter questioned Kufuor’s credibility in calling for accountability, arguing that the current president is simply following in his predecessor’s footsteps.
What has sparked the most outrage is the broadcaster’s controversial assertion that Kufuor “will never get out of that wheelchair until death.†This remark has been widely condemned as disrespectful and inhumane by members of the public, including listeners and social media users.
Her statements did not stop there—she also turned her criticism toward former President John Mahama, suggesting that if he regains power, he should see to it that both Kufuor and Akufo-Addo face imprisonment for their leadership decisions. The backlash has been swift and widespread. Many Ghanaians have taken to social media to express their disappointment and to call for Angel FM to take appropriate disciplinary measures against the presenter. The situation has reignited discussions around the limits of freedom of speech, especially in political commentary, and the importance of maintaining decency and professionalism in media.
This incident puts pressure on Angel FM’s management to evaluate how its platform is being used and whether its on-air talent is upholding ethical standards. It also serves as a wake-up call for Ghana’s broader media landscape to address how political figures are discussed publicly, and the potential consequences of crossing the line between criticism and personal attacks.
