He said the rumour is infantile and it is an attempt by the National Democratic Congress to cause disaffection for the NPP.
Sammi Awuku also denied being behind a letter circulating on social media platforms that was purportedly written by him on the training of ‘thugs’ for 2020.

The rumor of the NPP training thugs was first revealed by John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the NDC last week in Accra.
The Flagbearer of the NDC expressed concern over the sad and despicable events of the Ayawaso West Wuogon bye-election and the continuous recruitment of NPP thugs by the Akufo-Addo government, who are being trained in batches in combat techniques and other military drills at Asutuare ostensibly to unleash mayhem and bedlam in next year’s elections.
