  • Get ready to write more ‘sack’ letters – Hopeson Adorye tells NPP’s JFK

    Get ready to write more ‘sack’ letters – Hopeson Adorye tells NPP’s JFK

    Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Hopeson Adorye, recently ousted from the party, is unreservedly expressing his discontent with the decision. In an interview with a media outlet, Adorye, seemingly undeterred by his dismissal, exuded confidence in his past contributions to the party, hinting that they might seek his support again in the future.

    Now free to openly discuss his former party without inhibitions, Adorye directed a message to the General Secretary, Justin Koduah Frimpong, suggesting that he should prepare an abundance of letterheads because he, Adorye now has his “freedom”.

    “The General Secretary should get a lot of letterheads down because he is going to write a lot of letters. I have my freedom. I decide where I should belong to,” rainbowradioonline.com quoted Adorye to have said.

    Anticipating tumult within the NPP as the 2024 elections approach, Adorye predicted mass resignations.

    Defending his loyalty to the NPP, Adorye challenged anyone in the party to claim greater allegiance than himself, especially before he threw his support behind Alan Kyerematen.

    He questioned, “When people are dissing the party, who runs to the radio, television, and defends the party? When the top hierarchy is being attacked, who goes to defend them?”

    Disputing the notion that he was sacked, Adorye contended that he had non-verbally communicated his departure from the party by supporting breakaway member Alan Kyerematen and his independent presidential bid.

    Despite the official letter of expulsion released by the party on November 20, 2023, Adorye maintained that he was already aware of his forfeited membership, questioning the necessity of a formal communication. 

    He dismissed the letter as “just a waste of time,” emphasizing that the provisions of the party’s constitution were well-known to him and others, including former General Secretary Ohene Ntow.

    Confident about the future, Adorye anticipates that as time progresses, the NPP might seek his audience. Unperturbed by the situation, he conveyed, “I am not worried. It is no problem.”

  • “Now you can tell us what happened between Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni” – Hopeson Adorye advised

    “Now you can tell us what happened between Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni” – Hopeson Adorye advised

    In the wake of Hopeson Adorye’s recent expulsion from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), netizens on Twitter now X, are urging him to unveil the long-awaited details surrounding the Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni scandal.

    Adorye, who was a big part of conversations surrounding this controversy, is now seen as having the freedom to reveal the inside scoop.

    The Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni scandal, which gripped public attention, involved alleged romantic involvement between President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and a Ghanaian woman based in Canada known as Serwaa Broni.

    The woman in 2021 and through 2022 revealed some farming allegations against president Akufo-Addo-Addo and some members of his administration including Hopeson Adorye.

    Serwaa Broni in a series of revelations claimed that Akufo-Addo had proposed love to her several times and even took her on a trip with the presidential jet to Kumasi for a funeral one time.

    She claimed to have ‘accidentally’ taken a photo of the president on the flight as she unknowingly captured Akufo-Addo’s reflection in a mirror that was behind her.

    According to her, the president who was not happy about that asked her to delete the photo and also later sent Hopeson Adorye and other National Security operatives to reportedly stage a robbery on her and seize her phone and laptop, which supposedly contained some nude photos and videos of the president.

    She claimed that she had been traumatised by the incident and had been living in fear of being killed by the president and his men.

    Now, with Adorye’s expulsion from the NPP, the public is anticipating that he may finally disclose the details and shed light on the controversies surrounding the alleged affair.

    X users are encouraging Adorye to share the truth now that he is no longer bound by party affiliations.

    Adorye, in a recent interview, highlighted that his dismissal has granted him the “freedom” to speak candidly about his former party, the NPP.

    The X ‘campaign’ to encourage him to reveal details about the Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni scandal gained momentum after his expulsion, with users expressing eagerness to hear the untold story.

    As discussions around Hopeson Adorye’s expulsion continue to circulate online, the anticipation of revelations about the Akufo-Addo and Serwaa Broni scandal adds an intriguing dimension to the unfolding story.

    Netizens keenly await Adorye’s response and whether he will indeed open up about the controversial episode that captured public imagination.

    Some of the tweets are as follows:

  • Leadership met and decided to sack Buaben Asamoa, 3 others for choosing Alan over NPP – Nana B

    Leadership met and decided to sack Buaben Asamoa, 3 others for choosing Alan over NPP – Nana B

    National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has clarified the dismissals of party members who were found to be supporting an independent candidate.

    According to a statement dated November 20, 2023, and signed by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow, Boniface Abubakar Saddique, and Yaw Buaben Asamoa, by publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the party’s duly elected presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, have automatically forfeited their membership of the party.

    Mr Boakye stated that the decision was not solely the action of the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, but rather a consensus reached during a national executive meeting.

    “This letter, let me say that it is not only Justin Kodua Frimpong who authoritatively wrote the letter but rather we went for a national executive meeting, and all the party leaders decided that this is the way to go. So, he is carrying the message of the national executive committee,” Mr Boakye said.

    In an interview on Peace FM on November 20, 2023, Boakye emphasized that the decision to dismiss party members supporting an independent candidate was a national one, reflecting the stance of the entire party leadership.

    He explained that during the period when Alan Kyerematen, a former NPP member, chose to contest as an independent candidate, the party did not have an official flagbearer. Therefore, there was no need to take disciplinary action against members supporting Kyerematen at that time.

    “At the time that Alan wanted to go as an independent candidate, we didn’t have a flagbearer, so there was no need to sack someone who supported an independent candidate.

    “As of November 4th, we have an officially elected presidential candidate, so we have to base our decisions on the party laws to take such actions,” he said.

    The National Organizer emphasized the significance of adhering to party rules, particularly now that the NPP has a confirmed flagbearer. Boakye stated that supporting an independent candidate goes against the established party regulations, necessitating the need for disciplinary measures.

    “Be careful who you push away” – Gifty Osei tells NPP?

    Gospel singer Gifty Osei has sent a subtle message to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the dismissal of her husband, Hopeson Adorye, from the party.

    In a comment under a post on Instagram, where Adorye reacted to his expulsion, Osei wrote: “Be careful who you push away, real ones don’t come back.❤️❤️❤️”

    Osei’s comment suggests that she is not happy with the way the NPP treated her husband, who was the Deputy National Security Coordinator and a former parliamentary candidate for the party.

    She also implied that her husband is a loyal and valuable member of the party, who might not return if the party regrets its decision.

    Osei has always publicly expressed support for her husband amid several scandals, including accusations of infidelity on his part against her.

    She has also been a beneficiary of the party’s patronage, as she was appointed as an ambassador for the ‘See something, say something’ campaign, which aimed to educate the public on terrorism awareness in Ghana.

    Adorye, on his part, has declared his readiness to openly discuss his former party without any reservations. He said that he was free now to speak his mind without any punctuations, and that he was not worried about the future. He also hinted that the NPP might seek his audience one day, but he was not bothered by the situation.

    The NPP announced the expulsion of Adorye in a statement on Monday, November 20, 2023, for violating the party’s constitution and code of conduct.

    The party accused him and three others of publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the duly elected Presidential Candidate of the Party; His Excellency Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, which is a breach of the “Party’s Constitution particularly Articles 3(5) (A)(4) and 3(9)(1)”.

    Below is the Party’s statement.

    The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken notice of recent activities of Hopeson Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow and Boniface Abubakar Saddique which includes publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the duly elected Presidential Candidate of the Party; His Excellency Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.

    In spite of their flagrant breach of the Party’s Constitution particularly Articles 3(5) (A)(4) and 3(9)(1), the afore-named men still hold themselves out as members of the NPP.

    For the avoidance of doubt, Article 3(5) (A) (4) of the NPP Constitution enjoins all members of the Party to “abide by and publicly uphold the decisions of the Party”. In addition, Article 3(9) (1) of the Constitution provides as follows: “A Member of the Party, who stands as an independent candidate against the officially elected member of the Party, or who joins or declares his or her support for another Political Party, or for an independent candidate, when the Party has sponsored a candidate in a general or by-election,
    automatically forfeits his or her membership of the Party”.

    In line with these constitutional provisions, it is the view of the NPP that Hopeson Adorye, Nana Ohene Ntow. Boniface Abubakar Saddique and Yaw Buaben Asamoa have AUTOMATICALLY FORFEITED their membership of the Party. They are, therefore, no
    longer members of the Party.

    The NPP entreats its members to remain true to their duties as per Article 3(5) of the party Constitution. We further call upon our members to bear in mind that the Party’s focus is to unite its ranks and rally the support of Ghanaians to make history by winning the 2024 general elections.

  • Hopeson Adorye vows to spill dirty top secrets of NPP

    Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) member, Hopeson Adorye, has declared his readiness to openly discuss his former party without any reservations after his expulsion.

    In response to the news of his dismissal, Adorye expressed his newfound freedom, stating that previously, he spoke cautiously for the sake of loyalty to the party.

    However, now that he is no longer affiliated with the party, he asserts that his statements will flow without any punctuations – no full stops, no commas, no semi-colons, and others.

    He reassured, “We will speak as we have to, so do not worry.”

    Confident about the future, Adorye anticipates that as time progresses, the NPP might seek his audience. Unperturbed by the situation, he conveyed, “I am not worried. It is no problem.”

    In response to Adorye’s threats, social media users expressed mockery, questioning his initial trust in the NPP.

    One user sarcastically commented, “Sia, next time you won’t trust a dwarf from Kyebi.”

    Another user added, “How I wish he comes out with the secrets of Serwaa Broni saga.”

    “Forgive all those who hate me, Oh Lord” – Hopeson Adorye’s prayer after dismissal from NPP

    Former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a leading member of the Alan Kyerematen campaign team, Hopeson Adorye, has made a fervent prayer to God Almighty.

    On Monday, November 20, Mr Adorye celebrated his birthday but the day also saw his removal, together with three others from the NPP.

    Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene-Ntow, Mr Adorye and Saddique Abu-Bakar Boniface, are said to have violated Article 3(9)(1) of the NPP’s constitution, leading to their removal from the party.

    In a birthday message after his dismissal, Mr Adorye prayed to God to forgive individuals who hold a grudge against for no fault of his.

    “Oh God my Lord, forgive all those who hate me for nothing and grant them long life to see my glorious end. All I can say is thank you Jesus,” he wrote in an Instagram post.

    Meanwhile, Mr Buaben Asamoa, while speaking on behalf of the quartet, has stated that they have no intention of challenging their dismissal.

    “Though none of the persons mentioned has received a personal copy, we accept our dismissal from the NPP and pledge our commitment to Ghana’s success through our support for Alan Kyerematen. We also take this opportunity to respond and set the minds of concerned well-meaning patriots at ease,” he stated.

    He emphasized that their steadfast backing of Alan Kyerematen stems from their belief that Ghana requires a “bold and viable candidate like Alan Kyerematen” to address the democratic and economic challenges of the current times.

    “Afrafranto birthday party in New York tonight” – Hopeson Adorye responds to his dismissal from NPP

    A key player in Alan Kyerematen flagbearership campaign team, Hopeson Adorye has responded quickly to his termination from the National Patriotic Party.

    Because of their public support and advocacy for Independent presidential candidate Alan Kyerematen, Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique have left the NPP, according to a statement made earlier today by the party’s leadership.

    The NPP referenced the quartet’s “flagrant breach” of Articles 3(5) (A)(4) and 3(9)(1) of the party’s constitution in an official statement.

    In accordance with Article 3(5) (A) (4), the party stressed the significance of members following and publicly supporting party decisions.

    Moreover, Article 3(9) (I) stipulates that party membership is immediately revoked for any member who backs an independent candidate against the officially elected member of the party.

    The NPP asked its members to work together to win the next elections in 2024 and to continue to stand by Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, the officially declared presidential candidate.

    In response to the development, Hopeson Adorye took to his Facebook, stating, “Afrafranto birthday party in New York tonight.”

    The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revoked the membership of four prominent members: Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow, Hopeson Adorye, and Boniface Abubakar Saddique.

    The decision, outlined in a press release issued on Monday, November 20, is attributed to their public endorsement of a presidential aspirant other than the party’s elected flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

    The statement, signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, cites this endorsement as a breach of the party’s constitution, particularly Articles 3(5) (A)(4) and 3(9)(1).

    These articles emphasize members’ obligation to abide by and publicly uphold the decisions of the party.

    The press release highlights the party’s awareness of the activities of the four individuals and notes their persistent association with the NPP despite their breach of the party’s constitution.

    It concludes by clarifying that their actions go against the principles of the party and, as a result, their membership has been forfeited.

    “The leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken notice of recent activities of Hopeson Adorye, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Nana Ohene Ntow and Boniface Abubakar Saddique which includes publicly endorsing the candidature of a person other than the duly elected Presidential Candidate of the Party; Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia.”

  • I have not left NPP – Hopeson Adorye

    Former Security Coordinator at Kotoka International Airport (KIA), Hopeson Adorye, has revealed that he has divided his support between Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

    Mr Adorye, previously a staunch advocate for the former Minister of Trade and Industry, acknowledges his past allegiance but now holds loyalty to both entities.

    “I am going to vote for Alan Kyerematen on December 7, 2024, and then parliamentary I will give it to my party NPP. If they don’t want it, I can take the two [vote],” he told JoyNews.

    He made the statement after gracing the Greater Accra Volunteer Activation event organised by Movement for Change on Wednesday.

    Even though he openly backed the independent presidential candidacy of the former NPP member, Mr. Adorye maintains his unwavering allegiance to the NPP.

    “I am a party member, even this week, I have paid my dues. If they want to say we don’t need you, they will just calculate my dues and give it to me,” he said.

    Mr. Kyeremanten declared his departure from the NPP on September 25, establishing the Movement for Change. Within this movement, he introduced the Great Transformational Plan (GTP), expressing confidence that it will effectively combat poverty and foster prosperity within the nation.

  • Dare me and I’ll expose who masterminded my dismissal – Hopeson Adorye 

    Dare me and I’ll expose who masterminded my dismissal – Hopeson Adorye 

    Former National Security Minister and a leading member of the campaign team for NPP flagbearer hopeful, Alan K Kyerematen, has threatened to expose the person who masterminded his dismissal from office if provoked. 

    Speaking after the results of the Super Delegates Conference was declared, Mr Hopeful Adorye stated that he was fully aware of persons who orchestrated his removal from office. 

    He also alleged that some persons voted in favor of a particular candidate because they wanted to secure their positions in government. 

    “They are only protecting their jobs. Use me as an example. I was sacked barely a week after my open declaration for Alan Kyerematen. So, I know what I’m saying. And the person who engineered it, I will mention his name if I am dared. But I will do so at the appropriate time,” he said.

    Mr Adorye was dismissed from office in November 2022. Confirming the incident, Hopeson Adorye said he has so far received his termination letter.

    “Yes, my appointment has been terminated as a national security member. No reason was stated for my termination.”

    He noted that some people are behind the termination of his appointment and strongly believed it was due to his affiliation with former Traders Minister, Alan K Kyrematen.

    “This has strengthened me the most, I will work hard for Alan Kyeremanteng to win the NPP Presidential primaries.”

    The New Patriotic Party held its Super Delegates Conference on Saturday, August 28, 2023, across the country. 

    After the elections Dr Mahamudu Bawumia emerged the candidate with the highest votes winning over 60%.

    He amassed 629 total votes at the end of the election, representing 68.15% of the votes. 

    Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong came in second with 132 votes, or 14.30% while former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen placed third with 95 votes, or 10.29%.

    The result is an indication that Mr Kyeremanten together with five other candidates qualified to the next round, however, his camp has been accusing some people of vote buying. 

    One of such persons is the Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, whom Mr Adorye has accused of offering delegates money at the just ended Super Delegates Conference.

    He noted that the Chief of Staff was trying to please and work in favour of a particular candidate since she has aspirations of becoming a Vice President under the leadership of that candidate.

    “I am saying that people who have been in the government for these years, they are even old ladies, they still want to continue, so, do you think she is going to vote in a certain direction,” he quizzed when asked about Alan’s performance in the polls.

    “An old lady wants to be a Vice President, how much more the young ones?” he asked.

    When pushed about who this old lady was, he referenced the chief of staff citing an electoral malpractice allegation.

    “Chief of Staff was here giving money to people, are we afraid? What I fear I don’t talk about,” he added.

    His comments have triggered a reaction from Leadership of the party, who have referred him, in addition to other candidates to the disciplinary committee.

  • Hopeson Adorye vows to resist any attempt by NPP to disqualify any candidate in primaries

    Hopeson Adorye vows to resist any attempt by NPP to disqualify any candidate in primaries

    Former parliamentary aspirant for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye, has cautioned the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) against taking any action to suspend party members for statements made during the campaign for the presidential primaries.

    He pointed out that while the party’s Members of Parliament and certain regional executives freely declare their support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and criticize other presidential contenders, the party leadership remains silent. However, they are now adopting a different stance, threatening to disqualify and suspend individuals who defend themselves.

    During an interview on Atinka TV, Adorye criticized the party’s national executives for showing favoritism in dealing with matters related to the primaries. He further asserted that the party leadership does not have the authority to disqualify any of the candidates in the upcoming elections.

    “You can’t scare anybody. We are in this country… You think we are here to joke. If you want us to fight, we will fight. I’m saying that if they want us to fight, we will fight.

    “You think we are just going to sit down? Nobody is going to cheat us. We’re unperturbed about your threats to disqualify people; nobody can threaten us,” he said in Twi.

    Hopeson Adorye, a former National Security operative, added, “the system cannot impose anybody on us. The grassroots are going to select the candidate for the party. We are not afraid of anybody,”.

    Ten people would be contesting the NPP presidential primaries, which are slated for August and November 2023.

    A super delegate conference would be held in August 2023 to reduce the number of contenders to five, while the main primaries would be held in November 2023 to choose the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 elections.

    The ten candidates include Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia; a former Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen; Kwadwo Poku, an energy expert; Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Joe Ghartey; a former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto; a former General Secretary of the NPP, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong; MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong; a former MP for Offinso North, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku; and a former Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko.

    People who talk about my wife’s body, do so foolishly – Hopeson Adorye

    Hopeson Adorye has said people who discuss his wife, Empress Gifty’s, body and how she dances on social media, do so foolishly.

    In an interview with blogger Sammy Kay, the politician encouraged people not to listen to detractors while citing Shatta Wale as an example.

    He claims that when gospel musicians engage in activities like listening to secular music, they are frequently subjected to harsh criticism, however, Shatta Wale can go to church and perform secular songs, and no one attacks him.

    “It’s foolishness, don’t mind them. You like Shatta Wale, Sunday he goes to church, and you are okay, and when he sings, the Christian dances to them, but then someone who is a gospel musician doesn’t have the right to dance to his songs.

    “I mean, that’s bad, I don’t understand. I visited a Pastor, and they were playing Shatta Wale’s song, and he was tapping his feet and shaking his head to the music. He loves the song. I mean is he a devil? It’s just a song, and songs are lovely,” he said.

    He further added that, it doesn’t make sense that when secular songs are played, a Christian isn’t expected to dance to it.

    “So, why will someone say you are a gospel musician, and you shouldn’t dance? If they play secular songs and you can’t dance, it doesn’t make sense,” he added.

    In an interview with JoyNews’ Richard Kwadwo Nyarko, the public toilet operator who is the eyewitness, explained that the robbers attacked them minutes after the mobile money vendor arrived at the scene.

    The 2020 NPP Parliamentary candidate for the Kpone-Katamanso Constituency, Hopeson Adorye and husband of gospel musician, Mrs. Gifty Adorye has indicated Ghanaians are full of hypocrisy.

    Speaking in an interview with Sammy Kay, the NPP man stated that the country Ghana is made up of fake people hence has admonished his wife “Empress Gifty” to live her life without paying attention to naysayers.

    Mr. Hopeson Adorye revealed that he sometimes selects the outfit worn by his wife to events and programs and therefore has no problem at all with the negative comments by some Ghanaians that his wife dresses indecently.

    According to Hon. Hopeson, Ghanaians need to render an unqualified apology to Moesha Boduong for the vitriolic attack on her just because she enhanced her body yet people will do same only if they had the means.

  • Firing Hopeson Adorye from National Security wrong – Obiri Boahen

    The former Deputy National General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticized the decision of the government to fire the one-time parliamentary aspirant of the party for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye.

    According to Nana Obiri Boahen, the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Hopeson Adorye do not augur well for the NPP and might lead to unnecessary divisions in the party.

    Speaking in an Okay FM interview monitored by GhanaWeb, Obiri Boahen said that the issue with Hopeson Adorye could have been settled without him being fired.

    “For me, honestly speaking it (the firing of Hopeson Adorye) is not the best. It can bring confusion to the party.

    “You can call him (Hopeson Adorye) on the quiet and talk to him about where he has faulted and even put him on secondment at other agencies such as NADMO (National Disaster Management Organisation) or Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

    “So, he will be working at NADMO and still be on the National Security payroll. He will be soliciting information and then he will be campaigning for Alan Kyerematen. We need to tread carefully,” he said in Twi.

    Citing similar issues that happened in 2007, Obiri Boahen further suggested that the party deals meticulously with such matters to ensure that the party is not ultimately affected.

    “In 2007, we saw this kind of division with members of the party claiming to be members of different factions in the NPP. And we forgot the common enemy and before we will realized it, we were in opposition,” he added.

    Hopeson Adorye, who was previously the Deputy National Security Coordinator in Charge of Airports, announced on live radio in November that he had been fired from the National Security Secretariat.

    He said during a discussion on Oman FM’s Boiling Point programme, on which he is a regular guest; that he had been fired purposefully because of his support for Alan Kyerematen.

    Adorye is a vocal supporter of the Trade and Industry Minister in respect of the minister’s rumoured bid to lead the NPP as flagbearer when elections take place next year.

    “God will cater for us, we will eat, uncle (referring to the show host), God has got us. How we toiled in opposition for Akufo-Addo to come to power, we will do same for Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen to come.

    “I’m not a zombie, uncle, I was told that my support is not towards a particular camp so I should be dismissed, I have been dismissed. ‘Your appointment has been terminated with immediate effect.’ That is why I am stressing that God will cater for us, we will never die,” he stressed.

  • Hopeson Adorye recounts how he was sacked from National Security

    A one-time parliamentary aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye, has refuted news publications that his removal from the National Security Secretariat was because he was not supposed to be working there after he was fired in 2017.

    Speaking in an Okay FM interview monitored by GhanaWeb, Hopeson Adorye said that the sack letter he received was dated November 17, 2022.

    Adorye, who was previously the Deputy National Security Coordinator in Charge of Airports, added that the reasons for his sacking were not stated in the letter because it was President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who ordered his dismissal.

    “The news publication is wrong. Why will someone be sacked and leave his post after 4 years? What happened was that in 2017, I had to leave my post at the airport and go back to the ‘blue gate’ because the security at the VIP section of the airport, which the National Security was in charge of, was being taken over by the Foreign Affairs Ministry. I was never sacked; what ‘The Herald’ is saying is false,” he explained in Twi.

    “How can one person be sacked from the same job twice? Tomorrow will be exactly two weeks since I received the letter indicating my appointment had been terminated with immediate effect. The letter was dated 17th November 2022 and I received the letter on 21st November, a day after my birthday,” he added.

    He added that many elders of the NPP have advised him not to talk about the circumstances surrounding his dismissal, and he will for now heed their advice.
    Hopeson Adorye had previously announced on live radio this week that he had been fired from his government job.

    He said during a discussion on Oman FM’s Boiling Point programme, on which he is a regular guest, that he had been fired purposefully because of his support for Alan Kyerematen.

    Adorye is a vocal supporter of the Trade and Industry Minister in respect of the minister’s rumoured bid to lead the NPP as flagbearer when elections take place next year.

  • V8 ban in 2023 budget: Are we going to buy new saloon cars? – Hopeson Adorye asks

    The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Hopeson Adorye has questioned the viability of a new budgetary directive that forbade the usage of V8 in Accra.

    He wonders if owners of V8 vehicles will receive new saloon vehicles to encourage them to stop using the V8s.

    “With the V8 issue, I wonder how it will be handled.
    Are we going to get the ministers brand-new sedans or what?
    Because the majority of them already drive V8s,” he said on the Boiling Point program of Oman FM on November 24.

    He also questioned the issue of fuel cuts of 50% for appointees: “Even this government fuel that has been slashed, how do we want the appointees to work? As for that one, I disagree, so what should they do?

    “Some of these things must be tackled realistically. Imagine a Minister with a fuel coupon of 2,000 cedis, now having 1000 cedis but his full tank costs 1,800, so if their car runs out of fuel after three days, what do I do?” he quizzed.

    What Ofori-Atta said about V8s and fuel allocations

    Under the section of the budget on “Implementation of the Cabinet directives on expenditure measures,” the Minister said:

    Mr. Speaker, as the first step toward expenditure rationalisation, the Government has approved the following directives which take effect from January, 2023:

    ● All MDAs, MMDAs and SOEs are directed to reduce fuel allocations to Political Appointees and heads of MDAs, MMDAs and SOEs by 50%. This directive applies to all methods of fuel allocation including coupons, electronic cards, chit systems, and fuel depots. Accordingly, 50% of the previous year’s (2022) budget allocation for fuel shall be earmarked for official business pertaining to MDAs, MMDAs and SOEs;

    ● A ban on the use of V8s/V6s or its equivalent except for cross-country travel. All government vehicles would be registered with GV green number plates from January 2023;

    ● Limited budgetary allocation for the purchase of vehicles. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase of new vehicles shall be restricted to locally assembled vehicles;

    ● Only essential official foreign travel across government including SOEs shall be allowed. No official foreign travel shall be allowed for board members. Accordingly, all government institutions should submit a travel plan for the year 2023 by mid-December of all expected travels to the Chief of Staff.

  • Deputy Ministers get GH¢250 worth of fuel weekly – Hopeson Adorye alleges

    New Patriotic Party leader Hopeson Adorye has urged the government to be reasonable with a budgetary direction to cut fuel allocations by 50% and also impose a ban on the usage of V8 engines.

    On Oman FM’s Boiling Point program (November 24), he stressed that it was crucial to give appointees the assistance they need to do their duties.

    Adorye claimed, using a text message, that deputy ministers were only receiving GH 250 in fuel allowance, which he thought was a pitiful sum considering the types of engagements that ministers took on.

    “On the fuel issue, I have a text message that shows that deputy Ministers get GH¢250 cedis worth of fuel every week. GH¢250 cedis only, how much is one litre, for a minister to be given 250 cedis for a week? That comes up to GH¢1000 cedis for a whole month.

    “If they arrive late at an event too, they have issues. 250 cedis of fuel is among some of the factors that breed corruption in this country,” he lamented.

    Hopeson Adorye of the New Patriotic Party has asked the government to be realistic with a budgetary directive to slash fuel allocations by 50% and also a freeze on the use of V8s.

    He insisted on Oman FM’s Boiling Point programme (November 24) that it was imperative to provide the necessary support for appointees in the line of their duties.

    Adorye alleged citing a text message that deputy ministers were being given GH¢250 as fuel allowance, an amount he considered very little for the kind of engagements that ministers undertake.

    “On the fuel issue, I have a text message that shows that deputy Ministers get 250 cedis worth of fuel every week. GH¢250 cedis only, how much is one litre, for a minister to be given GH¢250 cedis for a week? That comes up to GH¢1000 cedis for a whole month.

    Hopeson Adorye of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has questioned the realistic nature of a recent budgetary directive to the effect that the use of V8 within Accra has been banned.

    He questions whether or not those with V8 cars will be given new saloon cars in order for them to quit the usage of the V8s.

    “With the issue of V8s, I am wondering how it will be done. Are we going to buy new saloon cars for Ministers or what? Because most of them use V8s already,” he submitted on Oman FM’s Boiling Point programme, November 24.

    He also questioned the issue of fuel cuts of 50% for appointees: “Even this government fuel that has been slashed, how do we want the appointees to work? As for that one, I disagree, so what should they do?

  • How I thwarted Togolese voters, secured Volta for Akufo-Addo in 2016 – Dismissed Adorye speaks

    A former National Security Ministry official, Hopeson Adorye, has recounted some key contributions he made for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following his dismissal from his post at the National Security.

    Lamented the circumstances under which he recently lost his job, he maintained his resolved and stated emphatically that he is unperturbed by the turn of events.

    He maintained that his contributions to the party, particularly the rise to the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is well known.

    Speaking for the first time about his dismissal on Oman FM’s Boiling Point programme last week, Adorye disclosed how he purportedly helped secure the Volta Region from vote manipulation by way of Togolese being brought into Ghana to vote for a particular party.

    “You can testify that I was not seated behind the fence wall, I was in the thick of affairs. Ghana – Togo border operations,” he told host of the show, before adding: “I did it with four youth organizers in the Volta Region, we did it at the blind side of the regional executives.

    “Because if we had informed them, they will claim they had plans to do it,” he added before narrating how it wasn’t until the day of vote in 2016 when he met the regional secretary at Kpando, then the secretary said they had gotten wind of his undisclosed operations.

    He stated further that with his operation, the other party that usually brought illegal voters in, failed so to do: “We all saw the results in Volta Region, when they went to recruit voters, it was unsuccessful but this is my reward today?”

    On his dismissal, he stressed: “I’m not a zombie, uncle, I was told that my support is not towards a particular camp so I should be dismissed, I have been dismissed. ‘Your appointment has been terminated with immediate effect. That is why I am stressing that God will cater for us, we will never die.

    “I have left it all to God, we won’t sleep hungry. I know it is not my minister who will do this, Kan-Dapaah will not do this. But from what I am hearing, I pity those who issued the instruction,” he added.

  • Teacher Kwadwo mocks ‘sacked’ Hopeson Adorye

    When Hopeson Adorye announced that he had been sacked from his government job under the Ministry of National Security, many were shocked considering his dedication to the New Patriotic Party and president Akufo-Addo, whom he has defended spiritedly.

    Teacher Kwadwo, a former teacher who was equally sacked by the Ghana Education Service is the latest to react to Hopeson’s dismissal despite his years of sacrifice to the party.

    In a Facebook post, the skit maker mocked the one-time parliamentary aspirant of the NPP and announced that he will create a WhatsApp group that will have all dismissed officials under the NPP government.

    “Dem take show chairmoo…Senior abeg come home make we create contents together.

    “Pls I’m creating a WhatsApp group for we wey dem SACK from work. If u have also been sacked,lemme know so I can add you. The group name is..“Still Yɛbedidi…Nyame bɛhwɛ yɛn so!” he teased.

    As earlier reported by GhanaWeb, Mr Adorye in an interview on Net2 TV explained that his association and support for a candidate eyeing the flagbearership position led to the termination of his contract at the Ministry.

    “God will cater for us, we will eat, uncle (referring to the show host), God has got us. How we toiled in opposition for Akufo-Addo to come to power, we will do same for Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen to come.

  • Alan will resign to pursue flagbearer position if economy stabilises – Adorye

    A member of the Alan for President 2024 campaign team, Hopeson Adorye, has indicated that the Trade and Industry Minister; Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, will heed the calls to resign to pursue his ambitions of leading the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 general elections only if the economy stabilises.

    According to him, Mr Kyerematen has a role to play in ensuring Ghana’s economy is brought back on track.

    He said Mr Kyerematen cannot afford to put his ambition ahead of the overall interest of the party going into the next elections.

    He said the party, and for that matter the government’s successes will be the vehicle Mr Kyerematen will run on as flagbearer for the 2024 general elections.

    He admitted there have been calls from all quarters pushing for the Minister to resign from the government to pursue his dreams of leading the party to break the eight-year political jinx.

    “Even last night, I had calls from as far as the Upper East and Upper West Regions seeking answers to why Alan was still part of the government when he is supposed to be campaigning to make his ambitions of leading the party a reality,” he revealed.

    “Alan Kyerematen is not resigning now because as a country we are in crisis and all hands are needed on deck,” he explained.

    He was quick to add that the trade minister will humbly tender his resignation if the party opens nominations for the position of flagbearer.

    Mr Adorye made the revelation in an interview with Nana Otu Darko, the sit-in host of the Ghana Yensom morning on Accra 100.5 FM on Wednesday, November 16, 2022.

    “I know many people are worried about Alan’s delays in resigning to pursue his ambitions,” he noted and added “Alan would have to campaign on the successes chalked on the economy that will be bequeathed to him by the current president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

  • Hopeson Adorye makes vile allegations against Martin Kpebu, cites alleged plot to be NDC MP

    Hopeson Adorye, the unsuccessful New Patriotic Party candidate for Kpone Katamanso, accused Martin Kpebu, a private attorney, of being demonic in his recent public lobbying against the government.

    Hopeson Adorye claims that the lawyer is disguising a political purpose behind a neutral persona in order to forward his agenda to run as the opposition National Democratic Congress‘ parliamentary candidate for the Kpandai Constituency.

    “Are you aware that he is running in the Kpandai Constituency?
    Yes, Kpandai’s NDC parliamentary candidate.
    Do you know that he has met Mahama and that everything has been resolved?
    While appearing as a guest on Oman FM’s Boiling Point show, Hopeson Adorye made some allegations.

    He however added that the New Patriotic Party will be ready to thwart the diabolic political agenda of Martin Kpebu.

    “The thing is if you want to speak be bold and come out as an NDC member, don’t pretend to be a neutral person,” he added.

    Lawyer Martin Kpebu has become a staunch critic of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government amidst the current economic hardship in the country.

    Mr Kpebu has commenced a campaign calling for the president’s resignation and as part of his advocacy, the legal practitioner is organising a demonstration against the president.

    The demonstration dubbed ‘Kume Preko Reloaded’ is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 5, 2022, in Accra.

    In a recent interview on Neat FM, Martin Kbepu justified his call for the president’s resignation saying “what Ghanaians can do to get the president removed is to organize demonstrations. The police have given me permission for the ‘Kumi preko reloaded’ demo next Saturday, November 5. It starts from the Obra Spot at 7:00 am; every Ghanaian should make it a point to be there.

    “If the president does not resign by then, we demonstrate and present him a petition that we have had enough of him, and he should step down,” he added.

    Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to address the nation on Sunday, October 30, 2022.

    The address by the president will be his first major speech on the current state of the Ghanaian economy which has over the past weeks seen a significant rise in inflation among others.

  • 2024 polls: Alan will beat Mahama by 54% – Hopeson Adorye

    Former New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye, has stated that Alan Kyerematen and former President John Dramani Mahama will lead the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress respectively into the 2024 elections.

    According to him, the contest between the two will see NPP ease past its longstanding political rival NDC by garnering 54% of votes cast – a result which will manifest the NPP’s ‘break the 8’ agenda.

    In an interview with Accra-based Okay FM on October 3, Adorye stressed that Alan Kyerematen was the only candidate amongst candidates interested in the flagbearership slot who will deliver victory for the NPP.

    He said that the Trade and Industry Minister appealed to the middle class, grassroots, people in the academia as well as persons on the other side of the political divide.

    This he believes will inure to the benefit of NPP going into the 2024 elections.

    “NDC’s candidate for 2024 is obviously Mr Dumsor John Dramani Mahama. Alan will defeat him cool. Alan is the only person who is politically careful when speaking. He sticks to facts. You won’t get Alan’s voice in which he is contradicting himself. There’s none like that.

    “The academia, middle class and grassroots like him because of this. It is the polling station officers who are bringing Alan as flagbearer. They are always asking him when he is stepping down from his role as minister.

    “The people on the grounds are mounting pressure for him to step down. NDC’s candidate is automatically John Mahama. John Mahama facing Alan…you will see NPP garnering 54% of votes cast. I’m sure on that,” Adorye said.

    The New Patriotic Party, is bent on breaking the eight-year rotational power cycle between itself and the opposition party NDC.

    Ahead of that, it is billed to elect a flagbearer next year. Some of the names which have popped up besides Alan Kyerematen include Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, and Former NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong amongst others.

    Political analysts however predict that the contest is going to be a two-horse race between Alan Kyerematen and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

  • Hopeson Adorye tackles Nana Ama Mcbrown on United Showbiz

    Nana Ama Mcbrown received her fair share of critique when immediate past CEO of 3Music Networks, Baba Sadiq, and NPP Kpone Katamanso Parliamentary candidate, Hopeson Adorye threw verbal punches at each other during UTV’s United Showbiz program.

    The popular actress who doubles as the United Showbiz host wasn’t spared by Mr. Hopeson Adorye who labeled her as ‘biased’ for sitting aloof while Baba Sadiq disrespected him.

    Sadiq poked the NPP stalwart while claiming that he has freely offered himself to run the party’s ‘dirty jobs’.

    His comments were necessitated by Mr. Adorye’s claim that Baba Sadiq was part of an agenda that saw to the recruitment of some 75 young men from Fadama to heckle President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Global Citizen concert.

    Hopeson Adorye, alleged that Sadiq, together with the likes of NDC’s Alhassan Suhuyini, and Larry Dogbe bused these 75 young men to the venue purposely to hoot at the president.

    “Sadiq of 3Music Awards is an industry player and has a connection with the lead organizers, he and Larry Dogbe and Suhuyini met at a particular place to plan. They contracted 75 boys from Fadama and paid each one of them GH¢120. The videos trending is a testament to it. It was from one particular shot,” he stated earlier in an interview with Accra FM.

    In a bid to debunk the said claims, an infuriated Baba Sadiq went berserk and threw jabs at the NPP politician.

    “Even people in his party are telling me to forget about him and that he isn’t well. You look at a young man who is working very hard and you want to trash him. I am not just an industry player; I am an investor. It is not a free event.

    “He thinks it is a free event that people were bused to the venue. You’d have to go online, answer some questions and it will direct you to an IP. The data of every single person that attended the event has been recorded.

    “At your level and age, don’t put yourself in a situation where people will have to disrespect you. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Sammy Awuku and Samuel Jinapor came to meet you, why is it that when there is a dirty job it has to be you and not them,” he stated on UTV’s United Showbiz.

    But in the heat of the moment, Mr. Adorye called out the host, Nana Ama Mcbrown, for allowing Baba Sadiq speak of him in such manner.

    “You made me sit here patiently just to listen to this stupid talk, the lies and disrespect from this young man. How can you condone such?

    “I could have equally spewed rubbish but I chose to remain calm and that doesn’t mean I am stupid. I am not happy about how you handled this issue at all. Let me state on record that I don’t like how you handled this,” he remarked in Twi.

  • Don’t act such that people will disrespect you – Baba Sadiq tells Hopeson Adorye

    Baba Sadiq has urged Hopeson Adorye not to involve himself in issues that will call for the youth to disrespect him as though they are playmates after accusing him of being the mastermind behind the booing incident of the president at the Global Citizen Festival.

    “My advice to him is that, at your level and your age, don’t search for paths where young people may have to disrespect you in this way.

    “Kojo Oppong Nkrumah came to meet you at the party, Sammy Awuku came to meet you, Samuel Jinapor came to meet you, all of them, why is it that when there is a dirty job, he is the one and not them?” he said.

    On October 1, 2022, Hopeson Adorye asserted that Baba Sadiq and two other leading members of the NDC recruited some youth of Fadama to boo the president during the Global Citizens Festival held in Ghana.

    In an interview with Okay FM, Hopeson Adorye alleged that the Editor of the Herald Newspaper, Larry Dogbey, Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini and NDC Communication Team Member on Creative Arts, Baba Sadiq were the masterminds of the booing.

    In a rebuttal, Baba called the parliamentary candidate for Kpone Katamanso ‘somebody who is not well in the brain’.

    “Obviously, this can come from somebody who is not well in the brain. For a person to actually say this is what Sadiq will engage in; I am above that. I am above these things. I will never engage in such things. It’s a lie,” he added.

  • Baba Sadiq clashes with Hopeson Adorye on UTV

    After the New Patriotic Party member claimed that he had hired 75 people to heckle the president at the event, Baba Sadiq, a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress Communication Team on Entertainment, Arts, and Culture, educated Hopeson Adorye on how tickets for the Global Citizen Festival were produced.

    On October 1, 2022, Baba appeared as a guest on the United Showbiz Show. She revealed that every ticket created for the Global Citizen Festival was linked to an IP address, making it difficult for one person to register for multiple tickets.

    “He mentioned that you could just go online and buy a ticket to the concert. You see the life of a liar, he doesn’t even understand the ticket. He doesn’t even understand that you cannot even buy tickets.

    “The way the event was structured, you cant even go online and get 25 tickets. You have to take action. There is something called an IP address and he doesn’t know. I took my time and understood,” he said.

    According to the former 3Music Boss, after Hopeson accused him and others of contracting 75 people to boo the president, some people in the NPP reached out to him not to take Hopeson seriously.

    “Even his people in government are telling me that forget about this guy, this is not well. His people in government look at him and say forget about this guy because his own Vice President he didn’t go easy on, is it you he will go easy on?” he disclosed.

  • ‘You see the life of a liar’ – Baba Sadiq schools Hopeson Adorye on Global Citizen Festival

    Member of the opposition National Democratic Congress Communication Team on Entertainment, Arts and Culture, Baba Sadiq, has schooled Hopeson Adorye on how tickets were generated for the Global Citizen Festival after the New Patriotic Party member alleged that he had contracted 75 people to boo the president at the event.

    Sitting in as a guest on the United Showbiz Show aired on October 1, 2022, Baba disclosed that every ticket generated for the Global Citizen Festival was traced to an IP, which makes it impossible for one person to get more tickets after they have registered.

    “He mentioned that you could just go online and buy a ticket to the concert. You see the life of a liar, he doesn’t even understand the ticket. He doesn’t even understand that you cannot even buy tickets.

    “The way the event was structured, you cant even go online and get 25 tickets. You have to take action. There is something called an IP address and he doesn’t know. I took my time and understood,” he said.’

  • Gang that booed Akufo-Addo comprised 75 Fadama boys – Hopeson Adorye alleges

    Hopeson Adorye, an unsuccessful New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate for the Kpone Katamanso parliamentary seat, has claimed that the booers of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the September 24 Global Citizen Festival were hired thugs from the Accra neighborhood of Fadama.

    He added that certain well-known members of the opposition National Democratic Congress gave each of them GH 120. (NDC).

    Adorye said that the NDC gathered 75 Fadama boys to stage the incident through the former CEO of the 3 Music Awards, Baba Sadiq, The Herald newspaper publisher Larry Dogbe, and one Suhuyini in an interview with Accra-based Okay FM on September 28.

    He opined that the booing was orchestrated by the NDC as a result of the one-sided video from the incident even though ‘all the bloggers in Ghana were present and streamed live’.

    Baba Sadiq, he alleged was the mastermind having picked up information from organizers of the event that the president was going to be present.

    “Per the information I had, it was the Trade or the Tourism Minister who was supposed to be at the festival to address the attendees. But the fact that the president attended one in South Africa and requested that if it comes to Ghana, he will be happy. It was going to Nigeria.

    “One of the two ministers was supposed to come because of President Akufo-Addo’s UN engagement. But fortunately, the president was able to arrive before the day of the event.

    “They had conversations with him and it was agreed that he will come. Because Sadiq of 3 Music Awards is an industry player and has a connection with the lead organizers, when he heard it, he and Larry Dogbe and Suhuyini met at a particular place to plan.

    “They contracted 75 boys from Fadama and paid each one of them GH₵120. The videos trending is testament to it. It was from one particular shot,” Hopeson Adorye said.

    President Akufo-Addo was among high-profile dignitaries who graced the Global Citizen Festival which took place at the Black Star Square in Accra on September 24.

    When it was his turn to deliver a short presentation, a section of the crowd began to chant and clap ‘away, away….’.

    The president remained calm and delivered his speech. Deputy Communications Officer of the New Patriotic Party Ernest Owusu Bempah has in a statement accused the opposition National Democratic Congress as orchestrating the plot to embarrass the president.

    However, the NDC has rejected the accusation insisting that the booing was only an indication of the frustrations of Ghanaians.

     

  • Hopeson Adorye names NDC officials who orchestrated Akufo-Addo booing

    Failed New Patriotic Parliamentary aspirant for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye has accused three leading members of the opposition National Democratic Congress of orchestrating the public booing of President Akufo-Addo.

    President Akufo-Addo while presenting an address at the Global Citizen Festival held in Ghana on Saturday, September 24, 2022, was booed by some patrons of the event.

    While trumpeting the accusation by the ruling New Patriotic Party that the incident was orchestrated by the NDC, Hopeson Adorye has gone on to name three officials of the party as the brains behind the booing.

    In an interview with Okay FM, Hopeson Adorye alleged that the Editor of the Herald Newspaper, Larry Dogbey, Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini and NDC Communication Team Member on Creative Arts, Baba Sadiq were the masterminds behind the booing incident.

    According to him, the three recruited seventy-five boys from Fadama and paid them GH¢120 to boo at the president.

    He noted that the plot was masterminded after Baba Sadiq being an entertainment industry player picked up information that the president will be at the festival.

    “Because Sadiq of 3 Music Awards is an industry player and has a connection with the lead organizers, when he heard it, he and Larry Dogbe and Suhuyini met at a particular place to plan.”

    “They contracted 75 boys from Fadama and paid each one of them GH¢120. The videos trending is a testament to it. It was from one particular shot,” Hopeson Adorye alleged.

    However, Baba Sadiq and Larry Dogbe who were both named by Hopeson Adorye as accomplices to the plot have both denied the allegation.

    “Obviously, this can come from somebody who is not well in the brain. For a person to actually say this is what Sadiq will engage in; I am above that. I am above these things. I will never engage in such things. It’s a lie,” Baba Sadiq in a reaction on Okay FM said.

    He noted that the allegation was a deliberate attempt to run him down.

    “We have people who practice very bad politics and they will stop at nothing to destroy people they think are hardworking, people that are above them, people that have shown and proven that the things they do, they cannot do the littlest of it,” the CEO of 3Music said.

    Hopeson Adorye who was adamant about Baba Sadiq’s response alluded that he has voice recordings of a meeting between the plotters of the hooting.

    However, Baba Sadiq emphasised that he is yet to meet Alhassan Suhuyini in the entire year and has never met Larry Dogbey before.

    He dared Hopeson Adorye to produce the supposed voice recording noting that he is waiting on the advice of his lawyers to decide on his next line of action.

     

  • People who booed Akufo-Addo were paid GH¢120 each by NDC – Hopeson Adorye alleges

    Former New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for Kpone Katamanso, Hopeson Adorye, has alleged that people who booed President Akufo-Addo at the recently held Global Citizen Festival were paid an amount of GH₵120 by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

    Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Okay FM on September 28, Adorye alleged that the NDC through the Chief Executive Officer of 3 Music Awards, Baba Sadiq, Larry Dogbe and one Suhuyini organized seventy-five Fadama boys to stage the incident.

    He opined that the booing was orchestrated by the NDC as a result of the one-sided video from the incident even though ‘all the bloggers in Ghana were present and streamed live’.

    He mentioned that the president was not originally billed to be at the event but was able to make it because he had arrived a day earlier from the 77th United Nations General Assembly.

    Baba Sadiq, he alleged was the mastermind having picked up information from organizers of the event that the president was going to be present.

    “Per the information I had, it was the Trade or the Tourism Minister who was supposed to be at the festival to address the attendees.

  • Hopeson Adorye was invited and not arrested – NPP

    The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Kpone-Katamanso has called on Ghanaians to ignore media reports of the arrest of their 2020 parliamentary candidate, Hopeson Yaovi Adorye for allegedly threatening to kill the Municipal Chief Executive.

    The Tema Regional Police Command had said it arrested Mr Adorye and granted him Police enquiry bail pending investigations for allegedly issuing a threat of death to the MCE, Mr Solomon Tettey Appiah.

    However, a statement signed by Mr Prince Dadzie, spokesperson for Team Hopeson 2020 and released on December 15, 2020 described media reports on the arrest as false. He was rather invited by the Police.

    The statement indicated that “we want to state unreservedly, that the story is false, malicious, vexatious and has no merit, whatsoever”.

    “We do understand that it is an agenda pushed and sponsored in the public by the MCE of Kpone Katamanso and his cronies, betrayers of the very President, His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo, by virtue of whose magnanimity they are surviving.

    “They are aggressively seeking shelter to escape the monumental pressure upon them by the good people of Kpone Katamanso for their gross betrayal. The publication should be disregarded by all with the contempt and disgust that it deserves.”

    According to the statement, “Honourable Hopeson Adorye received an invitation from the Regional Crime Officer (Tema Regional Command) with regard to an allegation of threat on the life of the Kpone Katamanso MCE, purportedly made by him. He honoured the invite by reporting personally, to the command on Monday, 14th December 2020, as a law abiding citizen”.

    They further indicated that “We are fully aware of the diabolical agenda by the MCE against Hopeson Adorye and the NPP at Kpone Katamanso. Solomon T. Appiah should know that his occupation as the MCE is due to the fact that gallant patriots stayed true to the cause for NPP to win power”.
