Sticka has always been a tribal bigot - Gideon Boako

Member of Parliament for Tano North, Gideon Boako, has described Member of Parliament for Nhyeaso, Dr Stephen Amoah, as a bigot.

According to him, the only reason Sticka refused to support his bid to become the Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser in the past was due to tribal issues.

He explains that the legislator has, over the years, been a tribal bigot and should not be entertained.

Gideon Boako’s comments come on the back of claims by Stephen Amoah that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wanted to appoint him as Minister of Finance, but Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia wanted someone from the North.

“Tribalism was the only consideration why Sticka campaigned against me for the position of Ashanti regional youth organizer despite being a close friend and knowing I was the best candidate. He has been a tribal bigot since,” he said.

He further urged the New Patriotic Party delegates to take Sticka’s comments with a pinch of salt, indicating that the unsavoury comment does not move the Bawumia campaign.

The allegations made by Hon. Stephen Amoah a.k.a Sticka are false and even illogical Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his campaign team will not be distracted by these desperate efforts to whip up tribalism and bigotry in a bid to win votes in this impending NPP presidential primaries.

The Bawumia campaign encourages delegates to continue rejecting such divisive and retrogressive schemes aimed at undermining the party's unity and its future.
