The Bono Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwame Baffoe Abronye, popularly known as ‘Abronye DC’ has hit back at General Secretary of the opposition (National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia after the latter described as a “foreigner” with a ‘borrowed’ name.
Asiedu Nketia in an interview with the media claimed Abronye DC was adopted by Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Lawyer Obiri Boahen when they came to settle in Odumase hence making his nationality questionable.
“Chairman of NPP, the one you guys call Abronye, that is not his name, he is using his Landlord’s name. Kwame Baffoe is a Lobi man, both his mother and father are all from Lobi. They came to settle in a village in Odumase. They left him in the village and Lawyer Obiri Boahen adopted him and he’s now claiming he is his nephew,” Asiedu Nketia said.
In reaction, Abronye DC on Neat FM insisted he is a Ghanaian and that Mr Nketia “speaks like a senseless toddler.”
He added, “I have several proves that he (Asiedu Nketia) is not a Ghanaian, I can provide his mother’s funeral invitation when his extended family from Côte d’Ivoire came to Bono to bury her.”
