EASTERN REGION – The 15 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Eastern Region who have declared their support for the former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia have challenged Dr. Bryan Acheampong to provide evidence for his claim that some of them have privately apologised for endorsing Dr. Bawumia.
According to the MPs, the assertion is not only false but a deliberate attempt to tarnish their image and cast doubt on their public endorsement of the Vice President.
In an interview with Citi News on Tuesday, September 30, MP for Achiasi, Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, stated that the group deserves a public apology from Dr. Acheampong, a presidential hopeful and MP for Abetifi, if he is unable to substantiate his claims.
“None of the 15 NPP MPs has called to plead with him. We’re asking him to provide evidence to show the whole world those who went to him to plead for forgiveness,” he demanded.
The MPs also dismissed separate claims by Dr. Acheampong that he had warned Dr. Bawumia to be cautious about such endorsements, suggesting they may not be genuine.
“We’re also asking him to give us some evidence. From the investigations we did, there were no such text messages to the former Vice President,” he said.
