They want to kill me, I won’t cover 2024 elections, NPP has attacked me 2 times – Vim Lady Cries Out
As a precaution, Afia Pokua, aka Vim Lady, a popular on-air personality and journalist, has announced that she will not cover the 2024 elections.
Speaking to Samsom Lardy Anyenini on JoyNews analysis program, Newsfile on Saturday, the high profile media personality who is now with Despite Media Group after switching camps from rivals Multimedia Group, said her decision was solely based on security reasons after she was attacked twice previously.
“I have been a victim of these attacks twice under the New Patriotic Party (NPP),” she said.
She went on to say that during this peak period, “there is no one to you, not even the Ghana Journalist Association.”
I had to flee the country for a month during the 2020 election and returned later when the coast was clear. ” Unfortunately, this was not included in the report; other journalists were assaulted,” she revealed.
Unfortunately, Vim lady revealed her intention to leave the media landscape due to the attacks on journalists in the line of duty.
“We can no longer go on, and I am not alone.” We’ve had several media people leave the industry and move into Public Relations or Corporate Communications because it’s safer, with fewer emotional and physical attacks,” She said.
