The Communication Directorate of Mike Oquaye Jnr.’s campaign says it has exposed the vile propaganda tool being employed by Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo and her supporters against her opponent in the race for the Dome-Kwabenya NPP Parliamentary Seat.
They claim several of such propaganda was launched against HE Mike Oquaye Jnr. in an attempt to discredit his chances and to court sympathy for votes but all seemed to have failed.
The latest of such vile propaganda, it says, was a publication in which Adwoa Safo claimed Mike Oquaye Jnr. is after her life.
This was in reference to an incident that occurred two weeks ago when some people snatched the Dome Kwabenya Voter Album during an exhibition process at the Chairman’s residence.
Meanwhile, the Communication Directorate of HE Mike Oquaye Jnr.’s campaign has outrightly condemned the false publication in The Ghanaian Publisher with the caption on its banner headline “Oquaye’s Son Is After My Life - Adwoa Safo,” and exposed her ill agenda against her opponent.
According to the statement, the said publication is false and must be treated with the contempt it deserves.
“How can a scuffle which ensued at the house of the Chairman over a snatched album by a Supporter of Adwoa be construed as a threat to her life? Does Adwoa live in the House of the Chairman? How come her life feels threatened after two weeks of an unconnected incident, where no one was even hurt?” the statement indicated.
“We wish also to inform our Cherished Polling Station Executives and the general public that, Oquaye Junior has not tasked any of his supporters nor would ever task any of his supporters to besiege the Constituency Chairman’s residence nor any other person to cause mayhem,” the statement said.
According to the Communication Directorate, the supporters went there because they were told that the album was taken to Chairman’s house, and not to look for the MP.
The statement reiterated the aspirant's unalloyed assurance to all Polling Station Executives of their commitment to engage in "politics of real issues" as far as the Dome/Kwabenya constituency primary is concerned and would also not be deterred by any "childish and communist inferior propaganda from unscrupulous people."
“Our quest to fight for Polling Station Executives to liberate them from the challenges they are facing is Essentially Critical and our CORE MANDATE as well and we shall execute the same for all to be happy,” it said.
Recounting events leading to the incident, the statement said, the publication preceded a similar false alarm last Friday, May 1, 2020, when a supporter of Hon. Adwoa Safo, Alhaji Ibrahim threw the whole constituency into chaos by raising false alarm that supporters of Mike Oquaye Jnr. knocked one Mr. Borga Nie down with a motorbike.
This was however established to be false when the same Alhaji Ibrahim rescinded his false cry and apologized on the same WhatsApp platforms where he earlier gave the alarm.
In a related development, delegates at the scene have decried the dirty strategy being employed by Hon. Adwoa Safo.
According to Ntim Gyakari of Dome Kwabenya “Adwoa is desperate.”
Mr. Ntim further stated that it is never true the Chairman who was beaten to a “pulp” as quoted by the MP.
“ In fact, those who went there to protest for the release of the album were not able to enter the house at all because the gate was locked and they refused to open it. They did not even see the Chairman, let alone lay a finger on him to be scratched or beaten. The chairman initially said a stone was thrown by those outsides to near FM, that is true, it is also true a guy called Joel threw a stone from the chairman’s house at them, then the police arrived, that was the end of the unfortunate scuffle - but how can that be vandalism of his house? How can you say he was beaten by anyone. I am telling you that this happened two weeks ago, so how come the MP narrates the same events with a different twist of lies and claims her life has been threatened? These are concocted stories and they are pure lies. I think she is now desperate,” he concluded.
