Samuel Atta Akyea
Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member Of Parliament for Abuakwa South in the Eastern Region has debunked rumours being circulated by the NDC that he has imported guns into the constituency to cause mayhem on voting day.
The astute politician in a press statement issued and signed on his behalf by the Constituency Communication officer, Julius Okyere noted that, his hands are clean and that he doesn’t have anything of the sort in mind claiming it was the NDC who were spewing such lies about him.
The NPP branch of the Abuakwa South Constituency also noticed with dismay the vile propaganda making the rounds that Mr Samuel Atta Akyea’s vehicle had deliberately ran into masses of NDC supporters during a campaign rally at Akyem Asafo.
But according to the MP, he was on his usual constituency tour going through Asafo to Tafo and on reaching Asafo the accompanying vehicle which was carrying some NPP members stopped for some of the people to alight having driven past a crowd at a rally ground. “In the process, the driver moved the vehicle without noticing that some of them had still not gotten down from the cabin. One of them by name Yaw Asiedu fell from the cabin as result and sustained some bruises.”
“All these drama was witnessed by onlookers at the scene some of whom happen to be family members of these victims. However, out of benevolence and utmost care, the victim had to be treated and discharged at my expense so it is not true that my vehicle intentionally ran into any crowd purported to be NDC supporters,” Mr Akyea stated.
Another wild allegation had it that the Kyebi Abontendomhene Osabarima Kyeretwie Boakye Dankwa has spearheaded the destruction of NDC banners and other paraphernalia in the Kyebi community.
According to the party, these shameful acts were being perpetrated by Joyce Bawah Mogtari and her NDC propagandists would want to create fear and panic. “I wish to state that none of these allegations leveled against these honourable personalities by these devious beings were true”.
The Legislator, however, entreated every right thinking Ghanaian to treat the issues with the contempt they deserve and rather call on the National Peace Council as well as the House of Chiefs to duly call Joyce Bawah Mogtari and the NDC to order since no amount of these vile propaganda would fetch them votes and prevent them from losing in the upcoming elections.
