Nana Yirenkyi believes that Mr Awuku has what it takes to lead Akuapem North as MP given the prevailing circumstances of the Constituency.

Speaking to the media on alleged fabricated stories aimed at tarnishing the image of Mr Awuku, the chief stressed that no amount of hate campaign can deter Mr Awuku from contesting or change the readiness of the Constituents to back him.

“Sammi Awuku is the one who the chiefs and people in Akuapem North need. In any case, Akuapem North seat is not anybody’s property; you come contest, campaign and when you are voted for, you do what you can do, so stop the attacks,” he said.

“Look,” he added, “the people are for Sammy Awuku. If he stands today, he will secure the votes he needs. We know those people who are launching this kind of hate campaign and false allegations against Sammy, we know those behind these false stories and we are ready for them.”

Persons said to be linked to the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for the Constituency are believed to have launched a hate campaign against Mr Awuku ostensibly to reduce his chances of winning the parliamentary primaries and going on to win the seat.

The allegations have been refuted by Sammi Awuku’s camp with the assurance that he is in a pole position to annex the seat.

The Queen, who is opposed to the legitimacy of the newly installed Okuapehene, Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo II, reportedly refused to accept the items aimed at fostering unity between her and the chief.

The delegation attempted to appease her with 62 rams, bottles of schnapps and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Her resolve to reject the items is as result of her opposition to the legitimacy of Nana Akuffo.

Joy News is learning that the government sent closest maternal royal relatives to the queen mother but failed to reach a settlement.

The move deepens already held claims of political interference as to who became the chief of the area.

The queen mother’s faction had accused some political actors of masterminding the installation of Nana Akuffo against one Odehye Kwasi Akufo.
