He was the Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He became a subject of verbal attacks because of his frankness and objectiveness in discussing issues.
Now he is caught in the middle of a media boycott.
The NDC has decided to boycott Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' because of now Social Commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs.
In a statement signed by its National Communication Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, the party said: "Specifically, the reason for this boycott has to do with the unreasonable decision of the Producers and Host of the program to permanently reserve one (1) of the two (2) slots the party has traditionally had on Wednesdays on the show to Mr. Allotey Jacobs, who is often introduced by the host of the program as a “Social Commentator with strong leanings to the NDC”, ostensibly to spite the NDC".
The statement further described the host of the show, Kwami Sefa Kayi as 'dictator'
"Although we appreciate the production and editorial discretion of the station to give their platform to whoever they deem fit, we consider it unfair for the NPP to maintain their two (2) slots on Fridays while the NDC’s two slots on Wednesdays are reduced to one (1), to satisfy the whim of a dictatorial Host and his poodle".
Reacting to this on Wednesday's edition of Peace FM morning show 'Kokrokoo', Allotey Jacobs quoted a portion of Bob Marley's song 'Chances Are' saying: "In life there are choices...chances are some might not hold."

@KEY what do you make of your party's actions on same issues in the past and now?? Your National Chairman, First Vice Chairman,General Secretary, and several Constituency, Branch and Zonal Officers were totally sacked and brutalized. You even cruelly poured acid on your Upper East Regional Chairman and killed him. What did your so-called matured party did to some Founding Members of your party like Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamaklo and Tazan? Can you see why you are hypocrites party??????
This is petty and childish of the NDC.
