Akufo-Addo reacts to allegation from Asokwa constituency

The Office NPP’s flagbearer has appealed to members of the party to air their concerns first within internal party structures, rather than going straight to the public forum.

Nana Akufo-Addo’s Office has been drawn to a press release signed by the Asokwa Constituency Organiser of the NPP, Mr. Francis Adomako, calling on Nana Akufo-Addo to clear his name on whether or not he has authorised Dr. Amoako Tuffuor to campaign for the MP, Maxwell Kofi Jumah on his behalf in the Asokwa constituency.

Dr. Amoako-Tuffuor is alleged to have used Nana Akufo-Addo’s name to canvass for Mr. Kofi Jumah but Nana Akuffo-Addo’s Office said “nowhere in the tape did Dr. Amoako Tuffuor say he was acting on Nana Addo’s behalf”.

A statement signed by Press Secretary to Nana Akuffo-Addo, Herbert Krappa and copied Adom Nws said “indeed, Nana Addo has also spoken personally to Dr. Amoako Tuffuor and he has refuted the allegation, as he has since been doing publicly in the media. Dr. Amoako Tuffuor was expressing his own personal views”.

“The Office of Akuffo-Addo wishes to appeal to the Asokwa Constituency Organiser, and indeed all other party members who intend to put out in the public domain any information pertaining to the Party, to verify its authenticity before going on record.

The statement reiterated Nana Addo’s position of not supporting a particular candidate, during his recent tour of the nation, ahead of the parliamentary primaries.

“We wish to reiterate the position of the flag bearer, that he does not support any candidate and the only candidates acceptable to him will be the ones selected by the respective electoral colleges in the constituencies”, the statement noted.
