SAMMY GYAMFI WRITES:
My attention has been drawn to a social media post by one Justice Abeeku, a former Presidential Staffer under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government to the effect that he encountered me in a large convoy of several cars and Police dispatch riders while driving in Accra sometime over the weekend.
I wish to place on record that the said claim is totally false and maliciously contrived to court public disaffection for me. I was nowhere near the said convoy, nor have I ever sanctioned or used any such convoy. As an ordinary citizen of Ghana, I do not go about my business in such convoys.
I therefore entreat the public to dismiss this fabrication with utmost contempt.
Signed
Sammy Gyamfi Esq
(National Communication Officer, NDC)
