Dr Omane Boamah
Dr. Omane Boamah, the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) Director of Elections, has refuted President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's claims that his political opponents are orchestrating a campaign of misinformation and disinformation against him and his party.
These assertions were made by the president during the Ghana Report Summit, themed ‘Dealing with Misinformation and Disinformation in the Upcoming Election.’
President Akufo-Addo referenced the controversial 'Agyapadie' document, alleging that it was part of a plot to tarnish his reputation ahead of the upcoming elections.
However, Dr. Boamah has asserted that the opposition is not behind such efforts and suggested that the President reflect on the content of the "Agyapadie" document.
He questioned how a document predicting the President's actions so accurately could exist if it were not based on observed behaviour.
He added that instead of the president blaming the opposition, he should rather consider why his government has seemingly fulfilled the negative predictions outlined in the document.
"How come I campaigned to protect the public purse? How come I campaigned to develop Ghana? Yet this document is indicating that I came only for my people and for my clan? If I were the president, I'd be more concerned.
"Instead of the President hastily blaming the opposition party, the President should have a sober reflection about the content of the 'Agyapadie' document as people are pushing out there and check how come he has fallen so low to have manifested these things in his government such that today, people who have read a document are saying that ah, that is the evidence,” myjoyonline.com quoted him to have said in an interview.
