Kadehene refutes media reports of attacking NPP, Bawumia

The Chief of Kade in the Eastern Region, Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II, has refuted media reports suggesting that he mounted a political platform to attack the ruling New Patriotic Party and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

In a press statement, the Chief of Kade said a news report carried by Peace FM, which claimed he had mounted a campaign platform by the opposition National Democratic Congress on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, to speak against the NPP and its flagbearer, could not be true as he did not attend the said event in the first place.

“The attention of the Kade Stool has been drawn to a false report aired by Peace FM regarding the NDC rally held in Kade, Eastern Region, on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

In the said report, Peace FM falsely alleged that I, the Kadehene, Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II, mounted the stage at the rally and spoke against the NPP government and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. This claim is not only baseless but also a complete fabrication.

“I wish to categorically state that I did not attend the said event, let alone make any statements regarding the NPP or its flagbearer. As a custodian of the Kade Stool and a certified professional Mediator Arbitrator, I am guided by the principles of neutrality, respect, and responsibility. I have always upheld the dignity of the stool and would never stoop so low as to engage in partisan propaganda or make statements that would tarnish the reputation of the office I occupy,” the statement said.

While calling on the public to disregard the said report, Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II also called on the media house to issue a retraction and apology to demonstrate its commitment to professional journalism and the principles of fairness and accuracy.
