Communications Director of the Progressive People’s Party, Paa Kow Ackon, has expressed disgust at comments he believes incite the public against his Party founder, Papa Kwasi Nduom
Mr Ackon has described a statement attributed to candidate for Independent Political Party, Jacob Osei to the effect that Dr Nduom must step aside and immediately rescind his decision to contest in this year’s elections if he has the intention to.
The comments made by Jacob Osei suggested GN Bank and Gold Coast’s Papa Kwasi; he will be pelted with stones.”
He was also quoted as saying that “aggrieved customers will launch an attack on him [Dr Nduom] if he attempts to mount the podium to campaign”.
But a near-angry Ackon has described Mr Osei’s comments as a mischievously unguided and aimed at smearing the reputation of Dr Ndoum.
