Ade Coker was reacting to allegations made by Mr Moore that he squandered GH₵8.4 billion developmental fees meant for the Greater Accra NDC.
Mr Ashie Moore claimed Mr Coker failed to account to the national leadership, the monies he took from some MP aspirants ahead of the 2016 elections.
But Ade Coker on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Monday, described the former MP’s claims as palpable falsehood.

He noted that only ten people paid the said dues prior to its suspension, adding that those monies have been lodged in the party’s account at the headquarters.
“Ashie Moore did not even pay so I’m shocked he is saying this. His defeat is a vindication of what lies can do when you pursue that path,” he noted.
In spite of this, the Greater Accra NDC Chairman said he had forgiven Ashie Moore and anyone who peddled lies against him.
“I have a forgiving heart so I have forgiven all of them because, without unity, we can reach the promised land” he added.

He was grateful to party supporters who believed in his dreams and voted for him.
