The National Media Commission (NMC) has tasked Power 97.7 FM, to render a befitting apology to the wife of the Vice President, Samira Bawumia, before Saturday 11th November, 2023.
Accra-based Power FM, a subsidiary of Authentic Media Company Limited, is said to have on Wednesday 1st November, 2023 run a program through which the presenter of the show urged on a commentator to spew offensive words against the Second Lady of the land and the Fulani Community in Ghana.

According to the Executive Secretary for the NMC, George Sarpong, the radio station allowed their platform “to be used as the medium for gender-based insult on H.E. Hajia Samira Bawumia in a perverted and debased broadcast that also sought to denigrate the entire Fulani Community in Ghana and incite ethnic tension”.
The National Media Commission believes that the incident has the potential to derail national peace and cohesion, hence the call for an apology, after which evidence of the same is to be submitted within the given timeframe.
