According to his account, the incident happened while he was working at Kyzz FM and had been selected to cover an Under-17 football tournament.
Amankwah’s account of what happened
Amankwah claims that while he was away covering the tournament, some individuals approached the station’s then Programs Manager, identified in his account as Mantse.
He alleged that they told management he had been holding discussions with another radio station that wanted to sign him.
Based on that claim, Amankwah said the individuals sought to have his position given to them.
He further alleged that they attempted to convince management by promising to generate more revenue for the station. According to his account, they were even prepared to share the salary attached to his position between themselves.
Amankwah said some of the colleagues he was working with at the time also supported the move.
The broadcaster presented the incident as an experience that taught him important lessons about workplace relationships and the need to remain focused despite difficult circumstances.
Four days of hosting a show alone
The situation, according to Amankwah, became even more challenging after he returned from the tournament.
He said some of the colleagues he had been working with stopped reporting to work, while the individuals who had allegedly sought his position also failed to show up.
As a result, Amankwah said he was left to handle a two-hour programme alone for four consecutive days, from Monday through Thursday.
Rather than publicly fighting the situation at the time, he said he continued with his responsibilities.
“I didn’t complain, I didn’t fight neither did I make any excuses,” he wrote in his social media account, according to the report.
His account suggests that he chose to remain focused on his work despite what he perceived as an attempt to undermine his position.
Why Solomon Amankwah eventually resigned
Amankwah said he eventually resigned from the station on Thursday.
According to his account, the individuals who had allegedly sought his position took over the following day.
He further claimed that about a month later, the station experienced a decline.
The claim about the station’s subsequent performance remains part of Amankwah’s personal account of the experience and was not independently established in the report.
His message about workplace integrity
Looking back on the experience, Amankwah used the story to encourage people to maintain integrity in their professional lives.
His message focused less on confrontation and more on remaining principled even when workplace relationships become difficult.
For Amankwah, the experience appears to have reinforced his belief that people should be careful about how they treat colleagues, particularly in competitive professional environments.
His final message urged people to maintain a clean conscience and continue working with integrity.
A conversation about loyalty in the media industry
Amankwah’s revelation has also opened a wider conversation about workplace relationships in Ghana’s media industry.
Radio and television remain highly competitive sectors where presenters, producers, reporters and other media professionals often work under demanding conditions.
Competition for programmes, positions, audience numbers and revenue can create difficult professional relationships. However, Amankwah’s account highlights the importance of communication, trust and professionalism when disagreements arise.
His story also illustrates how experiences behind the scenes can sometimes be very different from what audiences see when a presenter is on air.
While the individuals mentioned in his account have not been presented with a response in the report, Amankwah’s version has drawn attention because of the personal nature of the experience and the lessons he says he took from it.
