A senior member and a critic of the National Democracy Congress (NDC), Martin Amidu, has insisted that the party\u2019s Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto, insulted him in an article he [the MP] supposedly authored, using a pseudonym.<\/p>\n

Mr. Amidu, a former Attorney General in his recent epistle chastised Ablakwa<\/strong><\/a><\/span> for ostensibly insulting him in an article titled \u201cMartin Amidu\u2019s \u2018Hate Agenda,\u201d when he criticized former president John Mahama who was an international observer during the Kenyan election which was subsequently annulled by that country\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”gShKs0fVRvCj4hnnaJkAyH0lgyEOnz2k”]The former Attorney General did not mince words at all in taking Ablakwa to the cleaners in his five-page publication.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ablakwa however rejected the accusations<\/strong><\/a><\/span> saying \u201cI state for the record and in true conscience before God and man that I have authored no article on Hon. Martin A.B.K. Amidu.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have taken the effort to Google search the said article which I am accused of writing and found the article: \u2018Martin Amidu\u2019s \u2018Hate Agenda\u2019\u2026\u2019 rather published in the name of Ohenenana Obonti Krow on ghananewsonline.com.gh dated September 4, 2017,\u201d Mr. Ablakwa said in a statement.<\/p>\n

But Mr. Amidu in his response insisted that, the MP hid behind a pseudonym and published the said article.<\/p>\n

\u201cHon. Ablakwa is fast learning the art of covert operations and deniability in international relations, intelligence, and security. Unfortunately, he left too many foot prints that have exposed him and convince me with the precision of mathematics that he was the author of the two articles,\u201d Mr. Amidu added.<\/p>\n

citifmonline.com checks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier checks by citifmonline.com<\/strong>\u2019s showed that ghananewsonline.com.gh did publish the said article, titled \u201cMartin Amidu\u2019s \u201cHate Agenda\u201d\u2014His Outstanding Disrespect For Mahama, The NDC And The Judiciary Is Astounding\u201d on September 4, 2017 with Ohenenana Obonti Krow being the author.<\/p>\n

Modernghana.com on the other hand, posted the same article the following day, September 5, 2017, \u00a0this time with the author\u2019s name being Andrews Krow.<\/p>\n

It is thus unclear why the same article had two different but similar names, something that could perhaps give credence to Mr. Amidu’s claims that the real author may be hiding his real identity.<\/p>\n

Sources at modernghana.com also told citifmonline.com<\/strong> that, they have not published any article from the North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.<\/p>\n

However, modernghana.com does not know in person this columnist, to ascertain whether or not he’s who he portrays himself to be or that he could be someone else.<\/p>\n

They confirmed that the writer\u00a0is a supporter of the NDC and a known columnist on their website.<\/p>\n

Ablakwa being mischievous <\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Martin Amidu said his investigation points to the fact that the article was authored by Ablakwa and further accused him of being mischievous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot from my investigations before I wrote my article accept his mischievous denial of the authorship of one of the articles or any of them written insultingly against me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew Krow is the time dependent pseudonym of Okudzeto Ablakwa when his articles appear on Modern Ghana. This is the only reason why Ablakwa\u2019s article \u201cOn Developments In Kenya\u2026\u201d which appeared on myjoyonline on 4th<\/sup> September 2017 under his real name and Parliamentary rank appeared on Modern Ghana on the same day under his pseudonym Andrew Krow except that he forgot to delete his real name and Parliamentary rank at the tail end of the article,\u201d Amidu added.<\/p>\n

Below is Martin Amidu\u2019s latest\u00a0<\/strong>response<\/b><\/p>\n

ABLAKWA\u2019S MISCHIEVIOUS DENIAL OF INSULTING MARTIN AMIDU: BY MARTIN A. B. K. AMIDU\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have read Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa\u2019s post on his Facebook wall in which he denies authorship of only one of the articles: \u201cMartin Amidu\u2019s \u2018Hate Agenda\u2019\u2026\u201d on Modern Ghana of 5th<\/sup> September 2017 and extends to me his best wishes and God\u2019s blessings.<\/p>\n

Hon. Ablakwa is a son who must be put right when he goes wrong. I cannot therefore refuse to accept his greetings and well wishes as that would be taboo in northern custom and tradition.<\/p>\n

While I am ready to over-look this incident completely after calling him to order as a father should do, I cannot from my investigations before I wrote my article accept his mischievous denial of the authorship of one of the articles or any of them written insultingly against me.<\/p>\n

Andrew Krow is the time dependent pseudonym of Okudzeto Ablakwa when his articles appear on Modern Ghana. This is the only reason why Ablakwa\u2019s article \u201cOn Developments In Kenyan\u2026\u201d which appeared on myjoyonline on 4th<\/sup> September 2017 under his real name and Parliamentary rank appeared on Modern Ghana on the same day under his pseudonym Andrew Krow except that he forgot to delete his real name and Parliamentary rank at the tail end of the article.<\/p>\n

Ablakwa\u2019s article: \u201cMartin Amidu, Is He A Contrarian,\u2026\u201d on Modern Ghana was also authored under his pseudonym Andrew Krow which he used to author \u201cOn the Developments In Kenya\u2026\u201d on the same website. It was under the same pseudonym that he authored \u201cMartin Amidu And His \u2018Hate Agenda\u2019\u2026\u201d on the same website.\u00a0 It could not be by coincidence that Ablakwa now seeks to escape through a side door with the excuse that one Ohenenana Obonti Krow authored \u201cMartin Amidu And His \u2018Hate Agenda\u2019\u2026\u201d on ghananewsonline.com.gh on 4th<\/sup> September 2017 but forgets that the same article on Modern Ghana the same day was under Ablakwa\u2019s pseudonym of Andrew Krow.<\/p>\n

Hon. Ablakwa is fast learning the art of covert operations and deniability in international relations, intelligence, and security. Unfortunately, he left too many foot prints that have exposed him and convince me with the precision of mathematics that he was the author of the two articles.<\/p>\n

I would rather wish to believe that Hon. Ablakwa\u2019s partial denial signals a new beginning conveyed in the tone of the mischievous denial. I am too intelligent to accept the mischief that somebody else wrote the articles to knock our heads together.<\/p>\n

Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, I wish you well and God\u2019s guidance in this new beginning your message to me conveys.<\/p>\n
