The regional executive wants to dissociate ourselves from the statement of this group. We don\u2019t know anything about this\u201d, Tandoh said.He however added that a vehicle in Kumasi belonging to an NDC member has the inscription \u201cKofi Boakye Must Go\u201d, but the owner denied referring to the Police Commander, DCOP Kofi Baokye when contacted, but \u201cone Kofi Boakye who is an Assembly member, that is the person he says he must go\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Tandoh assured the regional executive will investigate the matter.He said they will meet persons suspected to be behind the said petition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no evidence so I still maintain that it\u2019s their opinion.
