Dear Editor,
A misleading media report in the newspapers has sought to create a totally false impression that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, NPP Presidential Candidate, entered Sunyani last Sunday to begin his Brong Ahafo Regional campaign tour in a 22-land cruiser and 40-Metro Mass bus convoy.
To set the record straight, Nana Akufo-Addo's campaign convoy is made up five four wheel drives and his security detail. The fuel cost of all the vehicles are borne by him.
The fact of the matter is that because of his popularity whenever Nana Akufo- Addo enters any constituency well wishers and party activists, including parliamentary candidates and some of their supporters, join the convoy in their own vehicles, thus swelling up the number of vehicles in the campaign convoy.
The claim that Nana Akufo- Addo entered Sunyani with 40 Metro Mass buses in his convoy is not true.
Nana Akufo-Addo entered Sunyani last Sunday in a CityLink flight.
Coincidentally, that very Sunday, the Metro Mass Office in Sunyani had taken delivery of 20 buses from Accra. Led by a police escort, the buses arrived within the same period Nana Addo was being driven through some principal streets of Sunyani.
The buses were presented to Fiifi Hanson, Traffic Manager of the MMT Office in Sunyani, by Prince Owusu Agyeman, Assistant Traffic Officer of Inter-City Operations, the following Monday. The buses had nothing to do with the NPP campaign tour of the region.
