The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has asked former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party Freddie Blay to head to court if he feels defamed by him.
Mr. Ablakwa says he will not retract and apologize over the truth.
Former National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party, Freddie Blay, is demanding retraction and an apology from North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Management of TV3, and Johnnie Hughes over what he calls baseless and unfounded allegations levelled against him and his family.
He has since issued them a one-week ultimatum to react, or he will sue them for defamation.
Mr. Blay expressed his outrage over accusations of his family’s involvement in state capture.
He indicated that his children legitimately acquired some portions of the beachfront from the LA Council, and their property does not belong to the management of the Labadi Beach Hotel.
He accused the North Tongu MP of engaging in cheap propaganda aimed at courting public opprobrium against his sons.
But the MP has dared Mr. Blay to head to court stating that he will not retract his statements regarding Blay’s alleged involvement in acquiring the front space of the Labadi Beach Hotel.
In a post on X formerly Twitter on Sunday, Ablakwa said, “I cannot retract the truth, Mr. Freddy Blay. Since you are getting no retraction from me, please go to court now — don’t wait for one week.”
He has also announced an upcoming demonstration on Tuesday, 18th June 2024 by residents and other interested individuals over the issue.
The demonstration is dubbed ‘Hands Off our Hotels’.
He further promised further revelations on the issue and affirming a commitment to combating state capture.
This he noted is “For God and Country. Ghana First.”
