Leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region have disclosed that they will soon petition the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to probe the bribery allegation labelled against Kojo Jantuah, host of the “Kro Ye Musem and Kurantimi show on Kumasi based Nhyira FM.
Appiah Stadium, a popular sympathizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, in a leaked audio, alleged that an amount of $2,000 dollars and GH₵2,000 cedis had been given to Kojo Jantuah as bribe by an unnamed businessman.
The said bribe, he further alleged, was to influence the morning show host, Kojo Jantuah, to project the NDC party’s agenda in the Ashanti Region.
When the said allegations were made, the Multimedia group, owners of Nhyira FM, issued a statement to exonerate their staff and rubbish the claims.
Mr Appiah Stadium himself has come out to clarify issues, saying that his claims were untrue, adding that they were directed at tarnishing the image of NDC Communication Officer, Abass Nurudeen to the benefit of Asafo Agyei who is contesting the incumbent.
“The things I said in the audio are part of the dirty work to unseat the incumbent, Abass Nurudeen. Even if it was true that there was some money to bribe him I would have spent it because I don’t know what Nana Jantuah has done to help our quest for power”, he explained on Nhyira FM.
But the NPP in the Ashanti Region are still not satisfied with Multimedia’s denial and Appaih Stadium’s subsequent U-turn on his own claims.
They have therefore served notice of petitioning the OSP to investigate Kojo Jantuah, Appaih Stadium and former President Mahama over the bribery allegations.
This was indicated by the Communication Director of the NPP in Ashanti Region, Dennis Kwakwa at a press conference called at the behest of the party.
