NPP flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo has described reports claiming he plans to move the capital of Ghana from Accra to the Eastern Region if he is elected as propaganda from the NDC with no basis in reality.
Reports last week claimed e-mails intercepted from the NPP flagbearer showed he had promised donors that the capital would be moved to the Eastern Region when he enters into office.
But speaking with Kwame Sefa Kayi, Akuffo-Addo debunked the rumours, claiming even the fact the leak supposedly came from from his e-mails shows how wrong it is.
“I don’t even send emails”, he said
“It is a pity that our opponent, that is the level of engagement they want to bring to Ghanaians. It’s like they don’t respect Ghanaians. What will make me, within a short period of presidency, move the capital from Accra to Kyebi because I am from there” he wondered.
“I think some people don’t understand that you come onto the scene to work for the progress of the country. If you are from Bole, does that mean, you must only care about people from Bole?”. I don’t understand why someone will come out with such malicious allegations, that I will elevate the position of Okyehene just because of politics.”
