Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A Plus, has refuted claims that he ever labelled the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, as corrupt and a thief.
He claims that the social media account that created the post is a fraudulent account that he cannot manage.
He took the chance to express his apologies to Dr. Ayine for the offensive post following his press conference, suggesting that he could have handled the situation more effectively.
“My official remarks regarding the passage of the sanitation levy remain available on my verified Facebook page. They are clear, measured, and accessible to the general public. I never used the words corrupt or thief.
I encourage all Ghanaians to refer to my Facebook page for the accurate and unedited version of events. The impersonator account deliberately distorted my position, seemingly to create confusion and inflame tensions,” he explained in a Facebook post.
He took the chance to apologize to Dr. Ayine for the offensive post following his press conference, suggesting that he could have handled the situation more effectively.
“That said, I understand Dr. Ayine’s frustration, given that an impersonation account using my name and image made such offensive remarks about him. Sadly, there is little I can do about the existence or content of that account, which I do not control—though I truly wish I could.
Regarding my own response on Facebook to the Attorney General’s comments at the press conference, I admit that I authored that particular post. Upon reflection, I acknowledge that the tone and choice of words I used were inappropriate. As a Member of Parliament, a younger colleague, and a junior in the House, I sincerely apologize to Hon. Dr. Ayine, the general public, the NDC party, and Parliament, and fully retract those words. I believe I could have made my point in a more respectful and constructive manner.
I take full responsibility for my words and actions. As a gesture of remorse and respect, I have deleted the post in question—something I rarely do.”
