The campaign team and management of "For The Records" have denied authorising a circulating video in which Chairman Wuntumi, Dr Nana Afriyie and Nkansah Boadu appear to apologise on behalf of Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah for events that occurred during the suspended NPP Afigya Sekyere East Constituency elections on Sunday.
In a statement, the team said it had not authorised, requested, endorsed or commissioned any individual or group to apologise on Mr Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah’s behalf.
It described any attempt to create such an impression as false, deceptive, mischievous and a calculated distortion of the truth.
"For the record, I can confirm that earlier today, the Deputy Minority Leader visited me after being assigned by the Minority Leader to explore avenues for resolving the impasse arising from the unfortunate events
at Afigya Sekyere East.
"During that meeting, I made my position abundantly clear and without ambiguity.
"I categoricaly stated that I would not render any apology to the self-acclaimed political chief over matters in respect of which I believe I acted within my legal and constitutional rights.
"I made it clear that I neither saw any justification for such an apology nor would I authorise anyone to offer one on my behalf.
"It is therefore astonishing that, shortly after that meeting, a video emerged creating the false impression that an apology had been offered on my behalf," it said.
The statement emphasised that the purported representation does not reflect the team’s position, instructions or authority.
It urged the public to regard the circulating video as an initiative undertaken by those featured in it and not as one commissioned, authorised or sanctioned by the campaign team.
"If others have chosen to pursue their
own political objectives or personal interests through such public engagements, they must accept full
responsibility for their own words and actions," the statement added.
