Fake news won’t divert Mahama’s attention – Apaak to NPP

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak has stated that no level of fake news produced by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will distract former President John Mahama.

According to him, the former President is focus and will announce who will partner him to wrestle power for the NPP administration when the time is due.

In a statement in response to a Fake artwork in circulation, the Builsa South lawmaker disclosed that Mr. Mahama has not made any such comments.

“The outgoing corrupt, reckless, galamsey NPP has been exposed. John Mahama has made no comment anywhere about Prof or a running mate. JM will announce his running mate at the right time in consultation with NEC.

“Let the looting enterprise know that fake stories won’t divert our attention. We are focused on exposing their terrible deeds and despicable record,” Dr. Apaak stated.

However, in his earlier statements on the running mate saga, the Member of Parliament for Builsa South urged members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to rather concentrate on exposing the governing New Patriotic Party government and leave issues on who partners the former President. elections.

His comments follow the activities of groups and individuals churning out names for the possible running mate to former President John for the 2024 presidential elections.

Dr. Apaak further stated that any effort from these groups and faceless individuals to push anybody on the former President will be an exercise in futility.

“NDC activists should focus their energies at exposing the reckless, corrupt, galamsey Nana Addo/Bawumia NPP gov’t; taking up and leading efforts to make the case as to why our party is the only option; galvanize our base and help reconcile fallouts from constituency, regional, national and parliamentary primary elections.

“Any effort to push anyone, with the hope that that person will catch John Dramani Mahama’s eye to be made his running mate is an exercise in futility,” Dr. Apaak stated.

He continued: “JM is the most experienced politician in our party and in Ghana today. He is the only person to have been selected a running mate by a Flagbearer, who himself as a Flagbearer has selected a running mate.”

According to Dr. Apaak, the former President cannot be influenced in any way in the selection of his running mate ahead of the 2024 General Election.

“Consequently, he knows what he wants, and no one can cajole or influence him to select a running mate. He will announce his choice when the time is right, after consulting with NEC,” Dr. Apaak stated.
