Ghanaian media personality Ayambilla Peter Anas has officially resigned from his position at African Union TV & Radio, effective September 21, 2026. Anas, who served as Morning Show Host, Sports Journalist, and Head of all Programs, submitted a formal resignation letter to the station's Director. His departure marks the end of a significant chapter in his broadcasting career at the Accra-based media outlet. Anas expressed gratitude to the station's management, colleagues, and viewers for their support throughout his tenure.

During his time at African Union TV & Radio, Anas held several prominent roles, including host of the flagship programme "Ghana Matters". He credited the outlet with giving him "a platform, a family, and a voice," and singled out his work on "Ghana Matters" and his morning broadcasts as some of the most rewarding experiences of his journalism career. Anas also acknowledged the trust and support he received from the Production Team, Technical Team, and his co-hosts.

Anas, who hails from Tempane, described the decision to leave as a difficult one, acknowledging the profound impact the station had on his professional development. He noted that the station's management and colleagues believed in him at an early stage of his career and gave him room to "grow, lead, and excel." Anas expressed appreciation for the opportunity to work with politicians from the NDC, NPP, and other political groups, as well as his viewers and listeners.

While his departure from African Union TV & Radio marks the end of one assignment, Anas hinted that his career in media is far from over. He promised his supporters that an announcement about his next move would follow soon, asking them to stay with him as he transitions. Anas described himself as a proud product of the station and said he would carry the lessons and memories from his time there into whatever comes next.

Anas's resignation letter, dated September 21, 2026, was made public through a Facebook post. In the post, he thanked his supporters and fans for their consistent support and encouragement. Anas also acknowledged the role of the station in shaping his journalism career, describing it as a platform that gave him a voice and a family.

The news of Anas's resignation comes after another prominent Ghanaian media personality, Doctorr Prekese, announced his resignation from Media General after nearly seven years with the company.
