Veteran journalist, Kweku Baako Jnr, has opened up about the early days of his enduring friendship with Kwesi Pratt Jnr.

In a conversation on the Good Morning Ghana show on Metro TV, he shared heartfelt memories of his friendship with Kwesi Pratt

Reflecting on their decades-long bond, Baako painted a vivid picture of how their shared political ideologies and similar personalities forged an unbreakable connection.

“Our first meeting felt natural; we immediately clicked,” Baako recounted with a smile. “We discovered we had so much in common—our political beliefs, drive, and even the way we approached life.”

Baako reminisced about the time when he invited Pratt to stay with him and his family in Labone.

Their camaraderie grew deeper as they shared a room and even a bed during that period. “He was a promising young journalist, and it felt right to extend that support,” Baako said, adding that the experience not only strengthened their friendship but also laid the groundwork for future collaborations.

Initially, Baako’s stepmother expressed reservations about Pratt moving in. “She wasn’t sure at first, but as time went by, she grew to see what I saw in him. Eventually, she accepted him completely,” he explained, underscoring the developed familial ties.

Their shared vision led to the creation of a journal, where Baako assumed the role of editor while Pratt’s skills became integral to the project. “Kwesi’s passion and dedication were evident from the start.

He played a significant role in what we were building,” Baako remarked, crediting their teamwork as a cornerstone of their professional achievements.

Despite the close bond they shared, rumours have occasionally surfaced about the discord between the two.

In a previous interview on Good Evening Ghana, Pratt dismissed these claims, emphasizing that their relationship remains intact.

“I may disagree with him on certain issues, but that does not mean there is a rift,” he clarified.

Pratt addressed the perceived distance between them, attributing it to life’s natural progression.

“We used to share a room, but now we are both married with families. It’s not a problem—it’s just life,” he stated.

“I’ve never had personal issues with Kweku. My disagreements with him are purely ideological, the same way I sometimes disagree with the president.”
