In a recent segment on Metro TV’s flagship current affairs programme ‘Good Evening Ghana’, host Paul Adom-Otchere spotlighted the remarkable transformation of former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Deputy Communications Minister Victoria Hammah.
The feature revisited Hammah’s public profile after years of relative absence from the media spotlight. Titled along the lines of “Victoria Hammah of the NDC… Remember her? See how she has re-organised herself into an awesome academician…”
The piece adopted a tone of admiration and surprise at her personal and professional reinvention.
Adom-Otchere, known for his incisive commentary and revisiting notable Ghanaian figures, opened by prompting viewers to recall Hammah—most famously associated with her 2013 leaked audio scandal.
In that widely publicized incident, Hammah (then a rising political figure) was recorded expressing ambitions to become a millionaire through politics, leading to her swift dismissal from government by then-President John Dramani Mahama. The controversy dominated headlines and sidelined her from frontline politics for over a decade.
However, the segment shifted focus to her positive evolution. Adom-Otchere commended Hammah for successfully “re-organising” her life, channeling her energies into academia and scholarly pursuits. He described her current incarnation as an “awesome academician”, praising her dedication to education, intellectual growth, and self-improvement. Adom-Otchere also showcased her recent work, appearance, and academic contributions—portraying a poised, accomplished professional far removed from past controversies.

The host’s narrative framed the story as inspirational: a tale of resilience, redemption, and quiet reinvention amid Ghana’s often unforgiving political landscape. Rather than dwelling on criticism or old scandals, Adom-Otchere used the platform to celebrate her comeback, aligning with the show’s occasional style of human-interest updates on public figures who have faded from view but achieved meaningful progress.
This appearance marks one of Hammah’s more prominent media returns in recent years.
