Ghana’s Ambassador to Namibia and Botswana, Haruna Attah has dared the flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, to swear on the bible to prove he (Mr Akufo-Addo) never had a discussion with him (Haruna Attah) at which event he (Mr Akufo-Addo) said the NPP will never allow a non-Akan to lead the party into an election.
“What I put out there, I’m going to repeat in another statement and I challenge the people I mentioned to swear on the holy bible that they didn’t interact with me,” Alhaji Attah dared when he spoke to Moro Awudu on Thursday night on Class91.3FM’s Inside Politics programme in response to numerous attacks on him following his issuance of a statement on Wednesday in which he accused Mr Akufo-Addo as well as NPP stalwarts Hackman Owusu-Agyemang and Dr Kwame Addo-Kufuor of espousing anti-northern and anti-Muslim sentiments against non-Akans and Muslims in the NPP.
“They must be running away from something, they must be in denial. It’s something they are all pretending not to know,” Alhaji Attah said in reference to the attacks on him on social media following his statement, adding that instead of the NPP addressing the issues he raised, they were rather hurling “insults” at him and peddling “half-truths, innuendoes and spurious things about me.”
“They are doing all sorts of tangential things,” he said.
