The office of former president John Kufuor has denied claims that he convened a meeting with around 100 New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmakers who are calling for the dismissal of the finance minister in an effort to get them to change their minds.
According to the former President’s office, it fiercely opposes the growing pattern of misinformation that cunningly tries to include ex-President Kufuor in topics on which he hasn’t remarked.
“The former President is as concerned as, perhaps more so than, others for the wellbeing and stability of Ghana, and in his own way is doing whatever he can for the nation to get on top of the seemingly intractable difficulties currently engulfing our society, and would be the last person to play petty and uninformed politics in the circumstances,” a statement signed by Dr. Kwabena Osei Adubofuor, the Senior Aide and Spokesperson for Ex-President Kufour read.
It added: “At any time that Mr. Kufuor deems it fit to comment publicly on national issues, he would not hesitate to do so. But, he would definitely not be drawn in, on other people’s terms and agenda.”
