Akufo-Addo Reacts to the Use of His Name in Extortion Allegation

The Victory 2012 Campaign Team of Nana Akufo-Addo’s attention has been drawn to allegations that a former NPP Women Organiser of the Awutu/Senya Constituency in the Central Region, Ms. Suzzie Brew is going round collecting monies from party supporters in the region, using the name of Nana Akufo-Addo amongst other prominent leading members of the party to extort monies from unsuspecting party members with the promise that Nana Akufo-Addo and these other persons will supply them cars on hire-purchase.

We wish to inform all members of our Great Elephant Party, and indeed the general public that the said Ms. Suzzie Brew is not a member of the Victory 2012 Campaign Team nor is she in any way associated with our campaign.

We further wish to state categorically that Nana Akufo-Addo has in no way authorised Ms. Suzzie Brew to act on his behalf in any capacity whatsoever, much less in the extortion activities she is alleged to be involved in.

We advise all persons to avoid any dealings with Ms. Suzzie Brew in so far as the use of Nana Akufo-Addo’s name is concerned.

We further wish to put all party members on a strict alert that under no circumstances should they deal with Ms. Suzzie Brew in so far as the use Nana Akufo-Addo’s name and the Victory 2012 Campaign is concerned.
