The National Organizer of the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, has said an in-law to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo Addo, was responsible for the circulation of photos of NDC branded Mahindra vehicles.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”zyswMuU3hd39o2oX4aHXwTJubwPjKWTL”]\u201c I have read that the in-law of Nana Addo supposedly or \u00a0so, was the one who took those pictures,\u201d Adams alleged.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the Managing Director of a quarry company, Marbles and Granites, was arrested for allegedly circulating pictures of the vehicles, which were parked in a yard belonging to the National Security Adviser.<\/p>\n
The narrative on the pictures which went viral on social media, claimed that the vehicles belonged to the\u00a0National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), but were being re-branded\u00a0to support the NDC\u2019s campaign ahead of the November elections.<\/p>\n
Dr. Edmund Ayo Ani, who was arrested on the orders of the National Security Adviser, was subsequently released by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He was arrested together with two others while at work. It is \u00a0however unclear whether the two, have also been released.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the development on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, Mr. Kofi Adams, who justified the arrest on Mr.\u00a0Ayo Ani, explained that he was arrested because the story that accompanied the pictures was a lie.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not just picking out pictures of NDC vehicles but it is also suggesting with a story line that those vehicles are\u00a0for a state institution and had been diverted to NDC and this for me is a very serious lie.”<\/p>\n \u201cIf the pictures were just taken to suggest that vehicles belonging to the NDC are in the yard of a National\u00a0Security Adviser, that would have been no issue at all; but to suggest that the vehicles branded in\u00a0NDC colours belong to a state institution but have been diverted and are at the Security Advisor\u2019s yard to be used by a political party, is a serious allegation to make..”<\/p>\n Mr. Kofi Adams believes political opponents are using social media as a tool to \u201cmalign and destroy\u201d the governing NDC.<\/p>\n “\u2026 My concern is that, somebody is peddling lies that NDC has taken cars meant for a state institution,” Mr. Adams\u00a0argued.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
