Former Deputy Northern regional minister, Mohammed Amin Anta was given $5000 to declare support for two-time NPP Presidential hopeful, Nana Akufo-Addo, in the party�s upcoming presidential primaries, the Alan camp has alleged. According to the spokesperson for Alan Kyerematen - a contender for the slot - Nana Ohene Ntow, evidence available to him confirms his suspicions over the sudden declaration of support for the former foreign affairs minister by the former Tamale MCE. �I am surprised that people are rather turning around accusing Alan of vote-buying. Why are people not talking about instance where people have confessed to receiving 5000 dollars to declare support for Akufo-Addo. �Amin Anta said on a tape that he was given 5000 dollars to support Nana Addo and it's public,� the former General Secretary of the main opposition party told Radio XYZ, Tuesday. Anta who was a staunch supporter of Kyerematen�s presidential bid has in a volt face declared support for his main contender, Nana Akufo-Addo ahead of Saturday's elections. But Ohene Ntow says the wave of public declaration of support for Akufo-Addo does not intimidate the former trades minister. �We know our message has sunk in really deep and we are confident of the outcome.�
