A member of the Communications Team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otukonor, has hit hard at the Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, for deceiving the general public with its Wednesday, November 15th publication... ...on NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo�s meeting with UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, and has asked the seasoned journalist to be gentleman enough by rendering an unqualified and also retract the said publication. To him, yesterday�s edition of the New Crusading Guide publication under the headline: �UK Government confirms Nana Addo Cameron Meeting�As It Captures NPP Press Release On Its Official Website� was a complete hoax and a mere fabrication. Speaking in an interview on Accra-based private radio station, Radio Gold, Peter Otukonor was emphatic that the website indicated in the New Crusading Guide story: �www.government-news.co.uk, does not belong to the UK government, but is privately owned. �I am challenging the New Crusading Guide; the website they are referring to is not a government website. It is an individual website. The official website of the UK Government is www.number10.org.uk. I am surprised Kweku Baako would play this kind of mischief on the minds of people. When you go to the official website, you will not see a single story about Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo. It never showed anything of the meeting between David Cameron and Nana Akufo Addo,� he said. According to him, the newspaper also got the supposed venue of the meeting between David Cameron and Nana Akufo-Addo wrong. �I expect a clear apology and a retraction of the story otherwise; the readers will no longer take him serious,� Otukonor stressed.
