The attention of the media has been drawn to information within the Offinso South constituency, purported to be emanating from the camp of one of the aspiring candidates of the Offinso South NPP Primaries.
They accused one of the candidates of bribing delegates in the constituency with various items and cash including GHc 4,000, 32” TV set, a mobile phone, Knapsack sprayer and a hair dryer for each delegate. The intriguing aspect of this money sharing technique, according to information available to this portal, is that the said candidate has strategically budgeted to sort out only five hundred and twenty (520) delegates out of the about six hundred and ninety-eight (698) delegates at the Offinso South constituency.
The five hundred and twenty (520) delegates who received the items from the candidate have been made to take an oath not to disclose the package to the remaining 178 delegates as they have been sidelined because of perceptions that they belong to opposing camps.
The beneficiaries were allegedly coerced into swearing in the name of the Ashanti deity “antoa nyamaa” and other gods to keep their lips tight and sealed.
Some constituency executives are said to be angry at the turn of events and have accused candidate’s supporters of being those who rained curses on NPP National Executive Council and constituency executives.
They said the candidate has earned the nickname Dr. “duabor” because of the uncouth actions of his supporters and assigns.
One of the constituency executives said ‘’If you’re a delegate from Offinso South constituency and you have not been given any package yet, it’s obvious you’re one of those delegates who has been sidelined. Delegates should be admonished to know that power belongs to them and shouldn’t allow anybody to intimidate them with their so-called gods.’’
