“The contents of the publication impugn criminal conduct on the part of the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, Member of Parliament, in government’s attempts to purchase properties for its newly opened Embassy in Oslo, the capital of Norway,” the statement read.
The statement further added that “the allegations in the publication are baseless, libelous, and scurrilous, and contain nothing but manufactured lies. We are aware of this magazine’s notoriously established agenda of defaming the President through the deliberate publication of such false stories about him. The agenda will fail, as it has failed before.”
