National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied receiving GHC8milion former Director General of the National Signals Bureau ahed of the 2024 general elections.
The umbrella family denial comes after a memo reportedly authored by former NSB boss Kwabena Adu-Boahene and addressed to the National Security Coordinator claimed that the NDC and other opposition parties received over GH¢8 million to support the procurement of election collation logistics and equipment.
The said memo alleged that the GH¢49 million which he (Adu-Boahen) is accused of misappropriating was used for covert national security operations.
Speaking to Joy News on Friday, May 9, 2025 the NDC’s Deputy Director of Elections and IT, Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer denied the claims saying:
“Those people they’re referring to supported them during their recent demonstration. He knows his partners—that’s who he was referring to. And I’m sure everybody has seen that. My opponent would give me resources to defeat him in an election? Does that make sense?
“I can speak on authority—it’s not possible at all. These guys are just clutching at straws. It won’t help them. They should go and negotiate a plea bargain, otherwise, he [Adu-Boahene] could be looking at 25 years,” he stated.
He also accused some opposition political parties of lacking a genuine commitment to unseating the New Patriotic Party (NPP), “When we were in IPAC, anytime the NDC opposed the EC and NPP, those parties sided with the EC and NPP. The NDC has nothing to do with this. We fought hard, used our own resources, and dealt a heavy blow to the NPP.
“The party has no business with whatever rubbish is coming out—we are not part of it.”
