The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Adenta Constituency, Kojo Adu-Asare has taken a swipe at his colleague MP for Lower Manya Krobo, Michael Teye Nyaunu for claiming that the Mills campaign team are intimidating party delegates not to endorse Mrs. Rawlings’ candidature.
According to him, he feels embarrassed at the statements of Mr. Nyaunu who, as a senior colleague and has so much experience as an MP must know better.
Michael Teye Nyaunu who is a leading member of the Konadu for 2012 campaign team alleged on Asempa FM Thursday 12th May , alleged that the members of the Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) campaign team are persuading party delegates with an amount of GH¢ 4,000 and a motorbike each to declare their support for President Mills.
He also accused GAME of intimidating the delegates not to endorse the nomination forms of Nana Konadu in her bid to challenge President Mills for the NDC’s presidential candidacy slot.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Thursday, Kojo Adu Asare said Hon. Teye Nyaunu’s suggestion that delegates are being bribed to endorse President Mills amounts to a big insult to the sensibilities of the delegates.
He said he was surprised that, Hon. Teye Nyaunu with his experience does not know that the NDC delegate congress is not won by the number of allegations you can peddle against your opponent.
Hon. Adu Asare noted that the campaign team of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings is doing her a great disservice by assuring her of victory, adding that the result in the impending congress in July will prove them wrong.
He added that his comments about Nana Konadu’s campaign team is not born put of malice but is intended for the good of the NDC party.
