Eastern Regional 1st Vice Chairman for NPP, Alhaji Umar Bodinga has disassociated himself from the leaked audio of NDC’s Abuakwa North Constituency deputy communication officer, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Adams.
In the said leaked audio, Alhaji Wahab Adams thanked Prez Akufo-Addo for appointing Alhaji Umar Bodinga as the new MCE for the Municipality and said he can do the work to bring development to the municipality.
He again said, since this is the first time a northerner has been chosen to became the MCE of the area, the Akyems will serve under him thus the MP for the constituency, Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo should come down for Alhaji Bodinga to work in a corporative manner because Prez didn’t appoint her person.
Alhaji Abdul Adams said these when a purported list of eastern regional Municipal and District Chief Executives leaked on Friday, July 23,2021, where Alhaji Umar Bodinga was named as new MCE for Abuakwa North.
With regard to this, Alhaji Umar Bodinga has disclosed to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that he don’t know anything about the leaked audio and moreover he hasn’t asked Alhaji Abdul Adams to make any statement indicating that “Akyems will come under the northeners for the first time in history of Abuakwa North”
This, Alhaji Bodinga who’s aspiring for Abuakwa North’s MCE post says he disassociates himself from the leaked audios amidst the unsounded statement.
He does stressed that he’s thinking about the developmental projects he will do for the residents within the municipality if God permit and H.E. Prez give the nod to him to come and serve under his gov’t.
“What I learnt from my political godfather Prez Akufo-Addo since 1992 is that; he is not a type of person who believes in nepotism when it comes to governance”. So I won’t also do anything that will bring separation amongst the good of people Abuakwa North if Prez appoint me”
“I have worked with Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo several years and will continue to work with her as my MP if am given the slot. Together with Hon. Gifty Twum Ampofo, we will transform Abuakwa North because we are all hardworking persons” he stated.
Alhaji Umar Bodinga emphatically affirmed that, he is in good terms with the MP, revealing that when the late MP of the constituency, Hon. J. B. Danquah was assassinated, he went to Akosombo International School where the then Mrs. Gifty Ampofo work at as a teacher to have a dialogue with her to come and occupy the vacant position of the late MP.
Addition he said, such statement from his brother Alhaji Abdul Wahab Adams is unfortunate, stressing that there is no way the Akyems will come under him, rather would ever be ready to serve the good people of Akyem Abuakwa North including his sister Hon. MP should the nod be given to him.
