Former Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei Opare, has denied social media reports suggesting that she has declared support for Kennedy Agyapong in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.
A flyer purporting to show the former Chief of Staff endorsing Kennedy Agyapong was widely circulated on social media.
Several senior officials of the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration, including some former ministers, shared disclaimers describing the flyer as false and firmly denying any such endorsement by Madam Frema Opare.
A close associate of the former Chief of Staff, who noted that she is not active on social media, has since disclosed that Madam Frema Opare is deeply upset about the fabricated flyer linking her to Kennedy Agyapong.
“It smacks of desperation for those campaigning for Kennedy Agyapong to fabricate such lies that Hon. Frema supports him. It is a complete falsehood, and she is very upset about it,” the source said.
“She knows nothing about what was printed, because she is not active on social media, and it is quite unfortunate that her image could be tarnished in this manner.”
The source warned individuals close to the Kennedy Agyapong campaign to desist from what was described as attempts to tarnish the image of the former Chief of Staff or risk being publicly called out.
Madam Frema Opare has become the latest high-profile member of the NPP to deny claims of endorsing Kennedy Agyapong.
Former National Chairman Peter Mac Manu and former VRA Board Chairman Kofi Tutu Agyare have also recently denied similar claims of endorsing Kennedy Agyapong following reports attributed to his campaign.
