National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary nominee for the Ningo Prampram Constituency, Samuel Dzata George,\u00a0has said he will continue to torment the opposition New Patriotic Party and its flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n
According to Sam George, who is also a Presidential staffer, the NPP has over the years tried to create disaffection for him within the NDC and tried to portray him as troublesome and arrogant.<\/p>\n
In his view, the NPP has\u00a0adopted such tactics because he is frustrating their bid to return to\u00a0power.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”tKYnFHRKuYMjbq0CIdTv5kmNH7KEzbfy”]Speaking on the Point Blank <\/strong>segment on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, in response to a publication about him by the Daily Guide Newspaper on Monday, Sam George said he will “continue to raise\u00a0hell for the NPP”.<\/p>\n \u201cIf the NPP sponsored media finds me to be a problem for President Mahama then I deserve a pay rise because the NPP and its media surrogates would only find me offensive if I\u2019m creating and raising hell for them. I can assure them of one thing; I will continue to raise hell for the NPP and its flagbearer in the lead up to the November 7 election,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n Daily Guide lied<\/strong><\/p>\n A Daily Guide publication of Monday May 16, claimed that Sam George had gone to beg the chiefs of his constituency for some derogatory remarks he had made against them.<\/p>\n According to the report, Sam George went before the chiefs with a sheep and two bottles of whisky and knelt down for one hour and 25 minutes, with the intent to appease the chiefs but his plea was rejected.<\/p>\n The newspaper further noted that \u201cconsidering his statement embarrassing, they [chiefs] have given him the condition to go back to the radio station where he granted that interview and retract the comments…\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m not an embarrassment to Mahama <\/strong><\/p>\n But Sam George rejected the newspaper report saying he never knelt down before the chiefs. According to him, the photo of him kneeling down was at a separate event and that the paper only sought to create mischief.<\/p>\n He also rejected claims that he is an embarrassment to President Mahama and the NDC government.<\/p>\n \u201cHow have I been an embarrassment? I don\u2019t think President Mahama is that indecisive or doesn\u2019t know what is good for him and that if I had been that I would have been axed by now. Everybody is entitled to their opinions but not all opinions are valid. The question is who is having that opinion?\u201d<\/p>\n Sam George’s stand-off with ET Mensah<\/strong><\/p>\n There is also a strong stand-off between Sam George and the current MP for Ningo Prampram, ET Mensah, after he was\u00a0beaten<\/a><\/strong><\/span> by his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 \u00a0in the party’s parliamentary primaries last year.<\/span><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
