The embattled national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr Paul Afoko has debunked allegations that he was bribed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to ruin the electoral victory of the NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo.
According to him, he is comfortable and content with what he has and will not allow anyone to buy his conscience.
"I grew up in a family that I was comfortable in, my dad was fairly comfortable and he made us all comfortable. At age 20 my dad bought me an American sports car. I’m an entrepreneur and I’m doing well."

Afoko was suspended in October 2015 after the party’s disciplinary committee upheld a letter from the National Council of Elders of the party requesting that Mr. Afoko be suspended until after the 2016 election.
He was accused of breaching the party’s rules and regulations in the matter of an alleged secret account managed by some party executives including now acting chairman Freddie Blay.
Mr Afoko insisted that he is "still the national chairman of the NPP".
"I remain chairman until my tenure is over in 2018 or the same delegates go and overturn the verdict that they don’t want me…I am battle ready to ensure that our party’s constitution is upheld and no group of people can illegitimise the constitution."
