Okofo Dr. Twum Barimah V, Chief of Assin Dansame in the Assin North Constituency in the Central Region, has expressed displeasure at a widely circulated reportage that depicts him as having endorsed Charles Opoku, candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the area’s pending by-election.
According to him, he’s chief for all, with open arms to every individual devoid of the person’s political affiliation.
He emphasized being forbidden from engaging in politics as the chief he is, having unfortunately been touted as such.
The learned chief said this in a press briefing held at his palace in Dansame.
Okofo Twum Barimah at the presser debunked ever standing anywhere to campaign either for the NPP or for Charles Opoku in the ensuing by-election.
He shared his grievance on how the media, out of fabrication, twisted his previous meetings with the NPP candidate to have him tagged as a staunch NPP member.
He again told Sompa News that the Assin North by-election has helped communities within the constituency, thereby facilitating developmental projects they wouldn’t have witnessed on a normal day.
He then appealed to the NPP party to redeem its promise made to the people of Dansame to establish a mining scheme at the community.
