The District Chief Executive of Ellembele, Mr Daniel K. Eshun, has been accused of causing a bridge to be collapsed to thwart a campaign tour of the NPP Presidential candidate Nana Akufo-Addo. He has denied the allegation. The flag-bearer is in the Western Region as part of his Restore Hope tour and was scheduled to visit a certain hospital but the bridge to the hospital a few minutes before Nana Addo's entourage got there had its concrete slabs being removed. Radio Maxx's Ebenezer Afenyi Dadzie told Joy News drivers and other commuters expressed surprise when they discovered the bridge was being collapsed. He said the NPP flag-bearer determined to continue with his tour, allowed some members of his entourage to walk on the remaining concrete slabs to cross to the other side and hopped into taxi cabs and left, leaving him and journalists traveling with behind. A vehicle later used a different route to come and convey him. With residents angry and complaining that the collapse of the bridge was unannounced, Deputy Communications Director of the NPP, Mr John Boadu, told Joy News the removal of the bridge must have been orchestrated by the DCE. But Mr. Eshun has rubbished the allegation saying that the work being undertaken by the engineers was not on the instructions of the assembly. He said it was rather the Ghana Gas Company which sponsored the work. The DCE said if the assembly wanted to frustrate Nana Addo's tour by removing a bridge, it would have prevented him from even entering the Ellembele District.
