A heated confrontation ensued between Sam Pyne, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), and Nana Ohene Ntow, a member of the Movement for Change, on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen show.<\/strong><\/p>\n Tensions escalated when Sam Pyne interrupted Nana Ohene Ntow following the latter\u2019s concluding remarks. During the exchange, Pyne accused influential figures aligned with Alan Kyerematen, the leader of the Movement for Change, of not supporting the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the previous elections.<\/p>\n Mr Pyne alleged that their loyalty to Alan Kyerematen, who had left the NPP, was a deliberate effort to undermine the NPP\u2019s votes in the upcoming 2024 presidential election through the establishment of the \u2018butterfly\u2019 Movement for Change.<\/p>\n \u201cSome people were part of the NPP and suspected they didn\u2019t even vote for it. Do your movement, and we will conduct our campaign,\u201d a frustrated Pyne expressed.<\/p>\n In response to Pyne\u2019s allegations, Nana Ohene Ntow dismissed them, asserting that those making such claims were ignorant of Alan Kyerematen\u2019s true intentions. Ntow emphasized his right to express his views on air and rebuked Sam Pyne for attempting to silence him.<\/p>\n \u201cI will not allow you to disrupt me. I am a very senior politician, more than yourself, so you better shut up and listen,\u201d Ohene Ntow stressed.<\/p>\n Highlighting his political experience dating back to the 80s, Nana Ohene Ntow cited commendation from Jerry John Rawlings for his work during that period. Ntow staunchly defended Alan Kyerematen, asserting that individuals close to President Akufo-Addo harbored animosity towards Kyerematen and unjustly targeted him and his team.<\/p>\n Nana Ohene Ntow refuted Sam Pyne\u2019s claim that Kyerematen\u2019s followers did not vote for the NPP, dismissing it as baseless. He cautioned against tarnishing Alan\u2019s reputation and emphasized the need for a fair assessment of Kyerematen\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t like someone, don\u2019t damage his name because Alan has done well. They talk like they are the gods of Ghana\u2019s politics,\u201d Ohene Ntow said.<\/p>\n
