In an interview on Asempa FM on March 18, 2025, Adwoa Safo described the allegations as baseless fabrications intended to tarnish her reputation.
She questioned why the former Chief of Staff would need to use a third party or intermediary to give her money, especially considering their close familial relationship.
She pointed out that the Chief of Staff shares strong ties with her family and dismissed the idea that such a transaction would require the involvement of a middleman.
Adwoa Safo also highlighted that some individuals who made the claims had later apologized for spreading false information.
The former MP further clarified that she does not hold a foreign currency account at Fidelity Bank, refuting the claim that the alleged sum of money was deposited there.
She challenged those making the allegations to verify the existence of such an account or the supposed transaction.
Adwoa Safo expressed her frustration with certain members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), accusing them of orchestrating deliberate attempts to damage her image for political reasons.
She attributed these actions to jealousy over her progress and dismissed the accusations as baseless noise.
“Because of politics when issues arise, people sit somewhere to concoct lies to defame your character because they feel you are progressing higher. People were just making noise out of the vacuum. I refute it, it did not happen and can’t happen,” she added.
Her statements were made in response to claims by Kennedy Agyapong, the former MP for Assin Central, who alleged in 2022 that Frema Osei-Opare deposited GH₵120,000 into Adwoa Safo’s Fidelity Bank account to encourage her to return to Ghana.
Adwoa Safo categorically denied the claim, maintaining that no such transaction ever took place and stating that the allegations were an attempt to defame her character.
