The chiefs and people of the Effutu traditional area have apologized for accusing the NPP presidential candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo of using the phrase ‘simpa opanyin’ during his campaign.
The chiefs of Winneba on Monday at press conference accused Nana Akuffo Addo for insulting the people of Effutu and called on him to apologise to them in within 48 hours.
But addressing the media today, the Tufuhene of the Effutu traditional council, Neenyi Otubua Siripi II said the accusation was based on out what he described as dubious tape which cannot be verified hence their apology today.
“It has since come to our notice that the alleged recording upon which we our earlier demands is of a dubious quality and same cannot be verified. Indeed upon further scrutiny we have realised that Nana Akuffo-Addo never said anything derogatory about the people of Winneba.” he noted. He however, appealed to Nana Akuffo-Addo and the member of parliament for Effutu constituency Alex Afenyo Markin and entreated government officials to stop misinforming people in the name of political power.
