A founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Executive Chairman of the Ghana School feeding Progarmme, Dr Kwame Amoako-Tuffour has denied allegations that he used the name of the NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to campaign for the re-election of Maxwell Kofi Jumah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Asokwa.<\/p>\n

Francis Adumako, the constituency Youth Organizer in an interview with Citi News said he and other delegates were invited to the Kumasi Ridge Residence of Dr Amoako-Tuffour and were urged to vote for the incumbent MP Kofi Jumah.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust last week Dr Amoako-Tuffour and Oheneba Kwarteng called delegates to their various houses and they were using Nana\u2019s name to lure us to stand behind our current MP because they believe that he is a strong MP. I was one of the people they called and they emphasized clear that it is not the National Executive that has sent them but they as members of the Nana Addo campaign team were coming to the area to tell us that the best candidate for the area is Kofi Jumah\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, an obviously angered Dr Amoako-Tuffour in a sharp reaction told Citi News, that though he did express his personal preference for Mr Jumah, he never used the flag bearer\u2019s name to campaign for the incumbent MP.<\/p>\n

He has however challenged his accusers to provide the recording of the said meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never called any of those people to that meeting. They came with somebody I know very well who is Oheneba Kwarteng and when they came I asked them what their mission was and they said they are from Asokwa\u201d. \u201cAll I said was, as for Asokwa I am very interested in it for the simple reason that I have a house there so the conversation degenerated into who is a better candidate and I told them my own personal opinion I never mentioned Nana Addo\u2019s name, they are lying\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an agenda that they are couching for a particular purpose, I have been through it. For the interest of the unity of the party I don\u2019t want to go there. I did not use Nana Addo\u2019s name, the name Amoako Tuffour is known enough\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
