The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary
candidate for Bantama, Mr. Daniel Okyem Aboagye, has dismissed as completely
false, claims that he holds a dual citizenship.He was emphatic that, “I
have never owed allegiance to any other country apart from
Ghana”.
Addressing a press conference in Kumasi, he said, he perfectly
understood the legal requirements for becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) and
would not do anything to create trouble for himself and his party.
He was
also aware of the bitter experience, the former MP for Bawku Central, Mr. Adamu
Dramani Sakande, went through and would not breach the law.
He therefore
called for his supporters to ignore – refuse to be unnerved by the tasteless
gossip.
Mr. Aboagye confirmed having an American permanent resident
permit and said that was not the same as holding “dual citizenship”.
“I
am daring anybody with evidence to the contrary to publicly provide that”, he
added.
He admonished his party members to overcome individual
differences, unite their effort and work hard to win the December polls by
comfortable margin.
“Let us stay focused, channel our energies and
resources into a convincing win for the party and majority of Ghanaians who want
to see a refreshing change, come 2016.” |
