The Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has urged the public to disregard an audio in circulation.

According to him, the said audio recording which is coming from a “faceless” individual pretending to be a child of James Gyakye Quayson, contains “vulgar and despicable swear words” which cannot be repeated.

Mr Gyamfi explained that the said audio is not coming from any child, relation or associate of James Gyakye Quayson. He indicated that the audio does not reflect the “decency and nobility” of James Gyakye Quayson or his immediate or extended family which holds all persons in high esteem and respects human dignity.

“We have sighted and listened to a certain desperate and maliciously-contrived audio message being circulated by the New Patriotic Party, their agents, assigns and surrogates, which purports to be the voice of a daughter of NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Assin North by-election, James Gyakye Quayson.”

Furthermore, Mr Gyamfi noted that the family of Gyakye Quayson has stood firmly and continues to stand with him in his quest to serve the people of Assin North and pursue the felt needs of the people, and never will they turn their back on this noble cause.

To this end, he highlighted that the desperation of the New Patriotic Party in Assin North has reached “fever pitch”, having sensed imminent defeat in next Tuesday’s by-election.

We therefore urge every discerning Ghanaian to disregard the said audio and to treat it with all the contempt it deserves.”

Reported audio is not fake

Meanwhile, a Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu Bempah, has indicated that the audio recording circulating on social media which was reported to have been recorded by the daughter of deposed Assin North lawmaker James Gyakye Quayson, is not fake as is being claimed by the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi.

He stated that Sammy Gyamfi’s statement on Quayson’s daughter represents a “vandalistic, irresponsible ethos” of politics.

“I have just cited a statement under the hand of the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi. In the said statement, Sammy Gyamfi sought to water down the content of the very explosive audio from the daughter of Gyakye Quayson. Intriguingly, Gyakye Quayson’s daughter in a new audio is worried about how the NDC is leading her father on, even as the continuing criminal charges against him gathers momentum.”

Mr Owusu Bempah stated that the daughter of Gyakye Quayson fears her father risk going to jail, and as such, she is berating and blaming the NDC for his misfortune. In light of this, he underscored that Gyakye Quayson’s daughter went as far as calling the Assin-North constituents as “villagers, who are not worthy to be toiled” for, makes Sammy Gyamfi’s intervention laughable.

“In any case, what is Sammy Gyamfi talking about here? If he so feels the audio in circulation isn’t Quayson’s daughter, why is he pointing accusing fingers to the NPP?”

Furthermore, Mr Owusu Bempah stated that NDC leaders like Sammy Gyamfi don’t like being called propagandists and yet they won’t also stop churning out propaganda. He equally revealed that the likes of Sammy Gyamfi must know that his sought of “attrition politics, spreading lies and pushing bigoted” views and agendas isn’t fashionable anymore.

Of course, we need to play the long game and it needs to be persistent and consistent. Surely, Sammy Gyamfi’s desperate intervention is irrelevant here. Gyakye Quayson’s daughter has demonstrated that her family isn’t in support of his suicidal mission. That is what matters. On the other hand, the discerning Ghanaians and the right-thinking members of the public know better.
