Asuogyaman’s District Chief Executive (DCE), Mavis Opokua Akunnor, has accused Okomfo Addo, the constituency secretary, of embezzling campaign funds intended for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s and Pius Enam Hadzide’s “ways and means” operations. This revelation was made by the enraged DCE after a confrontation with some constituency executives following Pius Hadzide’s loss in the elections held on December 7. Okomfo Addo allegedly embezzled GH₵450,000 intended for campaign activities, according to the DCE, who also claimed that he postponed the distribution of the monies to voters while requesting more money.
She claimed that despite being given GH₵4.5 billion (old cedis) at 8 a.m., you spent hours at the Green Hotel holding onto it and demanding payment of the remaining amount before sharing it. Additionally, Okomfo Addo was charged by Mavis Akunnor of misusing and withdrawing monies from the constituency account, as well as wasting funds intended for Dr. Bawumia’s campaign. “Instead of mobilizing for the party on election day, you were seen drinking at a bar near Goil at a crucial moment,” she accused. The constituency secretary and several executives, including Cynthia Quoffie, were also charged by the DCE for sabotaging Pius Enam Hadzide’s parliamentary campaign.
The furious DCE further claimed that because Hadzide was Ewe, several Akwamu natives in the party conspired against him. Okomfo Addo was chastised by the DCE for reportedly planning a smear campaign against her by giving party members instructions to call her conceited. She bemoaned the lack of togetherness and implied that the party’s dismal showing in the constituency was a result of internal strife. Tension has arisen within the NPP as a result of its loss in Asuogyaman, with claims of sabotage, poor leadership, and a lack of dedication taking center stage in conversations.
