The US Embassy in Ghana has denied claims by Ningo Prampram MP, Sam Nartey George, that boxer Floyd Mayweather cancelled his trip to Accra based on advise of “insecurity” offered 'The Money Man' by the mission.
Mr Nartey George had said on his Facebook page that the lack of security in Ghana had put fear in Ghanaians and foreign nationals, a situation that led to cancellation of the American boxer’s June 16 trip.
“There is a growing sense of insecurity in the country today. Robberies, contract killings, and unexplained deaths litter the news. It is so frightening we are becoming scared of our own shadows.
“This fact is amply evidenced by the cancellation of the visit of The Money Man Floyd Mayweather. The Money Team would as part of standard protocols engage the US Embassy in Ghana on the security situation in town. It is safe to conclude that the assessment by the Embassy was one of insecurity, prompting the cancellation.
“We need to pray for Ghana. I am reminded of the words of a senior man of God: ‘There is a sinister force on the prowl in our nation. It is a force of impunity. It is a force of treachery. It is a force of evil. To keep silent in such a situation is to allow evil to triumph.’"
However, the Press Attaché to the US Embassy in Ghana, Sara Stealy contacted ClassFMonline.com to deny the allegation.
Meanwhile, Mayweather has disclosed his visit to Ghana and Nigeria will come off in autumn.
“Motherland Africa, Nigeria & Ghana, my Undefeated Africa Tour has been pushed to the fall @RnBAllStarsEnt @ONEbrentTMT 4 more event info,” he tweeted.

If we have people like this in our parliament what kind of law would they be passing for us. We have people either don't want to read or have placed it in their heart to tell lies every time just because it is not their party in power. Some of us are getting disappointed in some of the youth who were voted into parliament thinking they would be pushing for the needs of the youth but NO, they are only there for their stomach. You some times listen to their line of argument and you want to vomit. We are in this country and an MP who was in the last parliament was surprised they passed an LI for DVLA to start taking money from all vehicle owners. The question is, do they even read the laws they pass for us? Lord have mercy on this country with the kind of leaders we have.
@ BIN MUSA. I LOVE YOU HAHAHAHAHAHA.(FAT BAS-=-TARD SAM GEORGE) YOU PEOPLE WILL NEVER COME BACK TO POWER.YOU ARE DUMMED LIKE CPP.NTAFUO /PEPE EWE/AYIEBWE PARTY .SECOND CLASS CITIZENS WANT TO RULE US.
Had a Western country told its citizens what this Ghanaian lawmaker said about Ghana, Parliament would spend a whole week condemning the negative assessment of the security situation in Ghana.Can the honourable member give us any statistics that armed robbery, contract killing etc have gone up since January 2017? This is no longer propaganda. It's stupidly for a citizen of any country to speak so negatively about his country. Especially an African country and worse still if that person is a member of parliament.
MR.SAM ***barred word***, PLEASE TELL US WHO KILLED OUR LATE SITTING PRESIDENT, ATTA MILLS. ***barred word***
sam george, if I had a face like yours, I'd sue my parents! Walahi. Why do we call our MPs honourable? Does this boy deserve that honourable tag? What is our crime as Ghanaians for having babies with sharp teeth also in parliament? Eh!. Sad sad sad, NDC has no strategy. Lies made them lose miserably but they've not learnt. For once, friends of this boy, just tell him the truth that he's not intelligent.
another lie from a p.i.g.! cant wisdom minded people in the NDC advice this little piiiig who is disgracing the name of your party to refrain from looose talk? NDC WILL REMAIN IN OPPOSITION FOR DECADES IF THE LIKES OF SUCH UNINTELLIGENNTS ARE NOT CHECKED
