The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has categorically denied reports suggesting that portions of the Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye Committee Report have been leaked to the public.
He described all such claims, including alleged quotes circulating on various media platforms, as “totally fake” and urged Ghanaians to disregard them.
Justin Kodua Frimpong made this known in a Facebook post cited by Sefwinews.com, where he clarified that the party has not released any section of the report to any individual, group, or even any officially recognized organ within the party.
“I wish to state emphatically that the NPP has not disclosed nor released any portion of the Prof. Oquaye’s Committee Report to anybody, not even to any officially recognized organ of the Party,” he stated.
He further revealed that only one copy of the report was produced, which was submitted directly to the National Council through the National Chairman and himself as the General Secretary.
“For the avoidance of doubt, only ONE COPY of the Report was prepared, and this copy was what was submitted to the National Council through the National Chairman and General Secretary,” he added.
According to Kodua Frimpong, the party is still in the process of reviewing the report in its entirety.
“The Party is still studying the contents of the Committee’s Report. If after studying the entire content of the Report, the Party deems it necessary to disclose aspects of the Report that are worthy of disclosure, the same will be done having regard to the best interest of the Party.”
He assured the public that if any part of the report is deemed necessary for public disclosure, it will be done officially and in the best interest of the party.
“Until that is done and duly communicated, any statement in circulation — including so-called direct quotes and referenced page numbers — can only be the handiwork of political opponents of the NPP intended to achieve mischievous ends at the expense of the Party,” he added.
He specifically pointed fingers at members and activists of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), accusing them of deliberately spreading falsehoods to cause confusion and weaken the NPP.
“It is not surprising that the originators and circulators of these mischievous statements are members or activists of the NDC. However, their strategy will not detract us from focusing on rebuilding our Party to recapture power in 2028 and beyond,” he concluded.
The NPP has therefore advised the public, especially party faithful, to remain calm and not fall for propaganda tactics aimed at sowing division within the party.
