The MP-elect for the Ningo-Prampram constituency Samuel George Nartey has denied knowledge of any message sent from his Facebook page to congratulate NPP Flagbearer Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo for winning the December 7th elections.
Below is the congratulatory message that was posted on his Facebook page early hours of Friday morning:
But Sam George in a quick response on Ahotor 92.3fm this morning, confirmed indeed his Facebook account has been hacked, and therefore stated emphatically that he was not responsible for the message that was written on his Facebook page. He further explained that, his Tweeter account has been linked to his Facebook wall and that is how come the same massage was sighted on his Tweeter handle as result. He has since taken the necessary action to prevent the hackers from further reaching his account.
