NPP's Bantama parliamentary candidate sues party members

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Bantama constituency Daniel Okyem Aboagye affectionately called Wofa Atta has filed a suit against some members in the constituency for character assassination.

The parliamentary hopeful indicated that he has toiled for his success and will not allow people to drag his name into the mud.

Wofa Atta is suing the party members for accusing him of possessing fake University of Ghana certificate, MBA certificate, dual citizenship cards and faking as a DKM worker.

Speaking on Abusua FM’s Abusua Nkommo hosted by Kwame Adinkrah, he denied allegations that he promised to secure loans from DKM for the party members as capital for business start ups.

He said he does not possess dual citizenship as speculated and that a section of party members in the constituency are throwing dust in the eyes of the public.

‘I have sued some members in the constituency for tarnishing my image; I will not allow anybody to drag my name in the mud. I have never used the US passport or acquired American passport before, not in any country, I have travelled in over twenty countries and in all, I used my Ghanaian passport, I only use my Ghanaian passport in all my travels.

Our Acting General Secretary John Boadu is my classmate and the current dean of Ghana business school Prof. Abo is also my classmate, I have other mates who are in higher positions. We are only here to help build mother Ghana, I have never worked for DKM, I have no relationship with DKM, DKM died off after three years, I never promised to get delegates loans,’ he denied.

He said he transferred his vote from Atwima Boko to Bantama constituency before the primaries, saying he was able to go through the vetting without being disqualified because he is a complete Ghanaian.
