Fiifi Boafo, aide to Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate, has challenged the individual who recorded the viral video of Dr. Opoku Prempeh promising to return all seized excavators to come forward.
Boafo claimed the video and voice have been doctored and called for the person to provide the complete footage as evidence.
In an interview on an Accra based radio station he argued that the video is a deliberate attempt to tarnish the reputation of Dr. Opoku Prempeh.
“When I saw the Tiktok video, I asked the media team if anyone recorded or heard Dr Prempeh say that but they said no. So I dare the person who can confidently say he or she recorded it to own up.
“Because the video in circulation is not a representation of what Dr. Prempeh said. The 20-minute full video we have do not contain that statement,” he said.
Mr Boafo emphasized that the NPP is committed to responsible mining under strict regulations to protect the environment.
