A Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ernest Owusu Bempah has said the audio recording circulating on social which was reported to have been recorded by the daughter of deposed Assin North lawmaker James Gyakye Quayson, is not fake as is being claimed by the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi.
The audio recording captures a voice of a supposed child of Gyakye Quayson expressing her disappointment over the decision of Mr Quayson to contest in the Assin North by-election.
But Sammy Gyamfi in a statement said “We wish to state without any equivocation that the said audio is not coming from any child, relation or associate of James Gyakye Quayson, as it does not reflect the decency and nobility of James Gyakye Quayson or his immediate or extended family which holds all persons in high esteem and respects human dignity.
“Let it be stated here that the family of Gyakye Quayson has stood firmly and continues to stand with him in his quest to serve the people of Assin North and pursue the felt needs of the people, and never will they turn their back on this noble cause.”
Responding to him, Owusu Bempah also said in a statement that “I have just cited a statement under the hand of the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi. In the said statement, Sammy Gyamfi sought to water down the content of the very explosive audio from the daughter of Gyakye Quayson.
“Intriguingly, Gyakye Quayson’s daughter in a new audio is worried about how the NDC is leading her father on, even as the continuing criminal charges against him gather momentum. She fears her father risks going to jail, and as such, she is berating and blaming the NDC for his misfortune. To the extent that Gyakye Quayson’s daughter went as far as calling the Assin-North constituents as villagers, who are not worthy to be toiled for makes Sammy Gyamfi’s intervention laughable.
“In any case, what is Sammy Gyamfi talking about here? If he so feels the audio in circulation isn’t Quayson’s daughter, why is he pointing accusing fingers to the NPP?”
Below is his full statement…
For Immediate Release
Sammy Gyamfi’s statement on Quayson’s daughter represents a vandalistic, irresponsible ethos of politics.
————–
I have just cited a statement under the hand of the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi.
In the said statement, Sammy Gyamfi sought to water down the content of the very explosive audio from the daughter of Gyakye Quayson.
Intriguingly, Gyakye Quayson’s daughter in a new audio is worried about how the NDC is leading her father on, even as the continuing criminal charges against him gathers momentum. She fears her father risk going to jail, and as such, she is berating and blaming the NDC for his misfortune.
To the extent that Gyakye Quayson’s daughter went as far as calling the Assin-North constituents as villagers, who are not worthy to be toiled for makes Sammy Gyamfi’s intervention laughable.
In any case, what is Sammy Gyamfi talking about here? If he so feels the audio in circulation isn’t Quayson’s daughter, why is he pointing accusing fingers to the NPP?
NDC leaders like Sammy Gyamfi don’t like being called propagandists and yet they won’t also stop churning out propaganda.
Of course, we need to play the long game and it needs to be persistent and consistent.
The likes of Sammy Gyamfi must know that his sought of attrition politics, spreading lies and pushing bigoted views and agendas isn’t fashionable anymore.
Surely Sammy Gyamfi’s desperate intervention is irrelevant here.
Gyakye Quayson’s daughter has demonstrated that her family isn’t in support of his suicidal mission. That is what matters.
On the other hand, the discerning Ghanaians and the right-thinking members of the public know better.
Sammy Gyamfi must bow down his head in shame.
