In a leaked letter sighted by MyNewsGh.com, Manaf Ibrahim expressed remorse over the turf war between him and the executives as a result of fallouts from certain decisions that were taken.

The letter reads in part “I write to unreservedly apologize for the public exchanges in the media space in the past few weeks. The happenings within that period I reckon were in my low moments. If in words, deeds, attitude, mannerism, taste or tone, I have caused anyone discomfort or created pain, that is not my truest self. Please, forgive me. Charge it to my head, not to my heart. I hope this apology meets your kindest consideration”
