NPP Executives threaten to sue A Plus over corruption allegations

The Bantama constituency executives of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the Ashanti region have threatened to sue controversial musician and sympathiser of the NPP Kwame Asare Obeng popularly called A Plus for defaming Messrs Francis Asenso-Boakye and Samuel Abu Jinapor over corruption claim.

A statement issued by the Executives said the allegations of corruption against the two deputy chief of staffs were unwarranted and a calculated attempt to tarnish the image of the two officials.

A Plus believes that the Presidential staffers whom he accused of corruption were misled and acted on deception when they intervened in the termination of UniBank’s contract to provide onsite banking services at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

A Plus in a Facebook post said "Abu, Asenso, you did not understand the issues per what Abu said on radio. I know that if you knew there is a government agency that can’t independently tell how much money it makes, you wouldn’t have supported this."

But the Executives in their statement said they will take a legal action against A Plus.

"We the youth of Bantama constituency writes to pour our displeasure at the unfair treatment meted out to Hon. Asenso Boakye by Kwame Obeng, aka Mr A Plus. Barely few weeks ago, Kwame A plus stated on his Facebook wall unguarded and irresponsible comment tagging Hon. Asenso-Boakye and Abu Jinapor as corrupt.

"We will want A Plus to know that Bantama is among one of the most enlightened constituencies in the country. We are well cultured, disciplined but very tough," the statement said.
