Ignore Ben Ephson, He is no more relevant in the media space – Kofi Baldwin
Ben Ephson has in the past made predictions on elections in Ghana, however, many people have claimed that, the pollster has had many of his predictions wrong lately.
Pollster and Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, Ben Ephson, has come under criticism by a fellow journalist who says the veteran journalist has lost relevance in the media space and should not be given an attention any longer. According to Graham Kofi Baldwin, lately, Ben Ephson has had so many of his predictions wrong “and it seems he has become a politician and a member of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team” Graham Baldwin noticed.
He said “Ben Ephson’s polls lately have all pointed to be fabrications. He charged the veteran journalist to “stop painting Alan Kyerematen and also the National Democratic Congress black in the eyes of the public because he wants to see Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becoming the president of Ghana at all cost.”
The young but experienced journalist says “nothing is wrong with Ben Ephson’s support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s Presidential bid, but Ben Ephson must not be seen hiding behind fake or fabricated suggestions.”
He advised that, veteran journalists must be seen acting objectively.
Ben Ephson has in the past made predictions on elections in Ghana, however, many people have claimed that, the pollster has had many of his predictions wrong lately.
Ben Ephson said, it will be difficult for John Dramani Mahama to win the 2024 Presidential Elections since John Mahama has nothing new to offer Ghanaians.
This, has created some uneasiness within the rank and file of the NDC with some party folks asking Ben Ephson to get serious.
Dr. Omane Boamah has said in a Facebook post that, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia should call Ben Ephson to order! claiming that, Ghanaians must not attach relevance to Ben Ephson’s views because “even when evidence proves contrary, he will follow his cooked line. It is abundantly clear Ben supports Bawumia against Alan Kyerematen”.
He further stated that, “How can Ben Ephson expect any right thinking Ghanaian to believe Alhaji Muhammed Mumuni (2004 NDC Running mate) is not a Muslim?
Such religious bigotry must not be entertained; otherwise, other reckless minds may begin to ask Christians not to even allow Bawumia to enter any church building.
Where will that leave our country?” He queried. This was after Ben Ephson suggested that, “Moslems have now noticed that, the NDC does not take them serious since the NDC does not even take moslems as running mates” Ben Ephson said.
