CEO of MASLOC, Stephen Amoah
Mr Stephen Amoah the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) who was a panelist on TV3’s New Day Programme on Wednesday February 19, 2020 was forced to beat a retreat after categorically stating that no aspirant had used a helicopter as a means of transport to file their nomination.
His categorical statement was in rebuttal to a claim by Member of Parliament(MP) for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini, that Joseph Kofi Adda(MP for Navrongo Central) had gone to Navrongo with a military helicopter to file his nomination ahead of the parliamentary primaries of the party in April.
Mr Amoah had declared: “None of the aspirants in NPP has submitted his or her form with helicopter or by helicopter. That is palpable false. It’s never true. It’s a big lie.”
He then wondered why Alhassan Suhuyini, if he is a true a Muslim, will create such a lie about an aspirant in the NPP parliamentary race.
But after a video of Kofi Adda arriving in Navrongo with a military helicopter to file his nomination was shown to him, the ardent defender was forced to recant his defence albeit with a caveat that the helicopter may have been headed for Navrongo already and Mr Adda may have been given a lift.
A vindicated Alhassan Suhuyini then condemned the fanaticism of Mr Amoah, advising him to desist from comments on people’s faith and politics.
