Kenneth Offei Asah, an activist for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured everyone that Sammi Awuku, a former national organizer for the party, is ready to run for the Akropong seat and has warned that anyone who fabricates lies and propaganda against him will be unsuccessful.
As a National Youth Organiser and later as National Organiser, Sammi Awuku, CEO of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), played a significant role in mobilizing support for the NPP.
His desire to run for the Akropong Constituency seat appeared to have incensed those who are determined to damage his reputation through false accusations and propaganda.
But Mr. Kenneth Offei Asah hit back at the critics in a Facebook post, saying that no amount of paid-for bad press can damage Mr. Awuku’s reputation.
The MP for Akropong Oheneba Nana Asiamah-Adjei is the target of Mr. Offei Asah’s charges.
“You keep sponsoring negative stories about Sammi Awuku, yet it keeps failing. First you told your supporters there won’t be Polling Station elections so they can go to sleep! You had a rude awakening when upon all your machinations the People stood firm and insisted there will be elections and there were elections.
“You approached some Prominent Chiefs up the mountains to support you to divide the constituency so you can take half and Sammi takes half. None of the Chiefs wanted to belong to your divisive ideas let alone come under your “imaginary divided half,” Mr. Offei said.
He noted that other attempts to get Mr Awuku not to contest the Akropong seat has failed.
“Again you went behind to encourage Regional Executives of Greater Accra to appeal to the National Officers of the Party, Some MPs and Key people in Government to ‘convince or force ‘Sammi Awuku to go for the Adenta seat. They tried, ambushed Sammi several times on this matter and even followed him to church just to convince him. That one too failed.
“Today you have sponsored another failed missile attack “Claiming Jubilee House Has Pulled Breaks on Sammi Awuku and the President queried him on using NLA funds to sponsor Pro Dr Bawumia Media campaign. First of all the President has never engaged Mr Awuku on this your propaganda and more so there is no evidence whatsoever in this your propaganda!
Madam my advice is that, focus and get ready for your elections wai because Sammi Awuku knowing him won’t comment but very effective when he just smiles at this your games”, he added, insisting that Sammy Awuku is determined to take the seat from the incumbent.
