For Immediate Release
To All Media Houses
12th July 2020
My attention has been drawn to your publication captioned “Otiko fires at Wontumi as ‘bushman’ for his anti-women comment”. Let me place on record that I have not published, spoken or issued any such statement about Mr Wontumi or the NPP as attributed to me. I demand an immediate retraction of the publication, and an unqualified apology to me for the embarrassment caused me by this false publication.
I am in the meantime referring the matter to my lawyers for advice.
Thank you.
