GENERAL SECRETARY of the NPP Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka �Sir John� descended heavily on the MCE of Ejisu/Juaben, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh, describing him as a �blatant liar�. Sir John was seated next to Yamoah Ponkoh in the studios of Hello FM in Kumasi last Saturday when he unleashed the bombshell. Yamoah Ponkoh had earlier alleged on the programme that the NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Danwa Akufo-Addo was not physically fit. The controversial MCE speculated that the NPP leader collapsed during his campaign tour of Kumawu in the Ashanti Region recently. Before the foul-mouthed Yamoah Ponkoh could land, Sir John bumped and stated that �you are liar.� He said Yamoah Ponkoh�s stock of trade was to peddle falsehoods just to tarnish the image of respectable people in society like Nana Akufo-Addo so the public should not take him serious. According to the NPP general secretary, he was with Nana Akufo-Addo when he toured the region and nothing of that sort happened.Other members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Garden City had been spreading rumours that Nana Akufo-Addo collapsed during his tour of Ashanti Region. Some NDC communication members, including one Onasis, even wrote on his facebook wall that Nana Akufo-Addo collapsed during his tour of the area.Sir John, however, insisted that Nana Akufo-Addo did not collapse when he visited the area so nobody should believe the NDC rumours. According to him, speculations that Nana Akufo-Addo collapsed was one of the numerous NDC foul tactics to blindfold the electorate from the realities of life like the adverse hardships in the country presently. Sir John who sounded irritated over Yamoah Ponkoh�s comment said Nana Akufo-Addo was physically strong, citing the NPP leader�s vigorous campaign across the country since he was elected flagberaer two years ago to buttress his claim.
