“I am Kwadwo Nkansah Lil win. If you remember, i was having a program on Adom TV, called ‘Don’t think far News’ and on 24th March 2018, i did a story about Dr Stephen Opuni for mismanaging public funds even to the extent of alleging that he used part of the nation’s money to build house on his late mother’s grave. I want to categorically say that all i said were not true. So i want to use this opportunity to beg Dr Opuni to forgive me and my entire crew. Dr Opuni, please forgive us” – Lil Win remorsefully said.
