National Communications Officer for the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has asked the general public to ignore the 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.

Portions of the viral audio captures the supposed daughter of the embattled Gyakye Quayson casting aspersions at the people of Assin North and the NPP.

She asserts among others that her father is being coerced into a political contest at the expense of his freedom due to a criminal case against him for his participation in the 2020 elections.

But in a statement sighted by Peacefmonline, the NDC Communications Officer said;

"We wish to state without any equivocation that the said audio is not coming from any child, relation or associate of James Gyakye Quayson, as it 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." 

According to Sammy Gyamfi, 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.

IGNORE DESPERATE AND MALICIOUSLY FABRICATED NPP AUDIO IN CIRCULATION

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.

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 we cannot repeat.

We wish to state without any equivocation that the said audio is not coming from any child, relation or associate of James Gyakye Quayson, as it 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.

Let it be stated here 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.

The desperation of the New Patriotic Party in Assin North has reached fever pitch, having sensed imminent defeat in next Tuesday's by-election election. We therefore urge every discerning Ghanaian to disregard the said audio and to treat it with all the contempt it deserves.

Signed.
