Minority Chief Whip, Mohamed Muntaka Mubarak has urged the media in Parliament to ignore fake news on social media that the Minority side would boycott State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered by President Nana Akufo-Addo today.
According to the Minority chief whip he has not signed any notice calling for the boycott of the State of the Nation Address when contacted to check the authenticity of the news.
The purported statement pointed out that “the Minority wish to state that they would not be part of SONA today”.
The statement went on to state that the Minority want to embark on the boycott because the Akufo-Addo led government failed to arrest the state sponsored people who unleashed violence against their colleague, Samuel Nartey George at the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
And when the incident happened no concrete steps had been taken to bring the offenders to book.
“We therefore want to say we are boycotting the event to show solidarity with our colleagues Sam, George”.
