The New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Bantama, Daniel Okyem Aboagye, has dismissed as completely false, claims that he holds a dual citizenship.<\/p>\n
He was emphatic that, \u201cI have never owed allegiance to any other country apart from Ghana\u201d.<\/p>\n
Addressing a press conference in Kumasi, he said, he perfectly understood the legal requirements for becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) and would not do anything to create trouble for himself and his party.<\/p>\n
He said he was also aware of the bitter experience, the former MP for Bawku Central, \u00a0Adamu Dramani Sakande, went through and would not breach the law.<\/p>\n
He therefore called on his supporters to ignore the allegations and refuse to be unnerved by the tasteless gossip.<\/p>\n
Mr. Aboagye confirmed having a permanent residence permit in\u00a0American and that was not the same as holding \u201cdual citizenship\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am daring anybody with evidence to the contrary to publicly provide that\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
He admonished his party members to overcome individual differences, unite their effort and work hard to win the December polls by a comfortable margin.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us stay focused, channel our energies and resources into a convincing \u00a0 win for the party and majority of Ghanaians who want to see a refreshing change, come 2016,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
