The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin said he has not defied the directive given by the leadership of the New Patriotic Party, NPP to boycott all Media General platforms.
He said the decision to call into TV3’s KeyPoints program on Saturday, February 22, 2025, was not to speak on behalf of or for the NPP.
According to him what happened was that, the Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, alleged that he was using 50 military personnel as convoy.
This, he noted was a direct attack on him (Afenyo-Markin) and not the party, NPP. Thus, it necessitated his intervention to challenge Dafeamekpor and to set the records straight, which he did.
Hon Dafeamekpor, following Afenyo-Markin’s intervention, withdrew his statement and apologized for same.
Under this circumstance, I couldn’t have been accused of defying the directive of the party’s leadership. I couldn’t have allowed such lies and misinformation to be peddled by Dafeamekpor to go unchallenged, he stated.
He thus urged the general public to disregard any news item or information that goes contrary to the explanation given.
