The Eastern Regional Grassroot Communicators of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has described as false reportage and misrepresentation in the media over a free for all fight over the weekend at a funeral in Suhum.
The group in the statement stated that some media outlets are peddling falsehood, which we deem as distasteful and wish to set the records straight.
In explaining what happened, the grassroot communicators said: ”First and foremost, we, the Eastern Regional Grassroot Communicators of the NPP attended the funeral of our colleague, Opare’s father and requested that join the entourage of the MP (Hon. Oboafo Kwadwo Asante) in extending pleasantries to the briefed family since we are all cherished members of the NPP. After informing the PA of the MP Suhum Constituency of our decision, we were clearly informed that the MP does not recognize any of us as members; hence, we cannot join his entourage in exchanging pleasantries to our dear brother.
At that material moment, we were left with no option than to ask for permission to leave the funeral grounds for other equally important engagements. Our Spokesperson was therefore asked to seek permission for us to leave the funeral grounds. Upon seeking permission, our spokesperson expressed our deepest displeasure and dismay by the position of the Suhum MP and his team to disrespect hardworking grassroot communicators of our dear party in that denigrating manner.
In the process of reiterating our displeasure, disappointment and resentment on the position of the MP, our Spokesperson was forcibly attacked by a mob of supporters of the MP who manhandled him in an uncharitable manner.
These despicable individuals also turned their attention to innocent leading members of the Eastern Regional Grassroot Communication’s Team of the NPP in an attempt to rescue our Spokesperson from harm. In the process, the driver of the MP grabbed a Machete from the vehicle of the MP and slashed the forehead of our colleague Bernard Kwasi Amoani, who was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
