After a long period of silence on political matters, Adwoa Safo has finally addressed allegations surrounding her role in the controversial Speaker of Parliament election.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM monitored by MyNewsGh, she firmly denied claims that she voted against Professor Mike Oquaye, the NPP’s preferred candidate, in favour of the NDC’s Alban Bagbin.
“I want to make it clear that I did not vote against Mike Oquaye,” Safo stated. She explained that before the vote, she had already informed then-Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu of her decision.
However, she accused him of betraying her by suggesting that she had supported Bagbin instead.
Recounting events from that day, Safo revealed that she was stuck in traffic and had to be escorted by dispatch riders sent by Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu to ensure she arrived in Parliament on time to support the party’s candidate.
“If my intention was to vote for Bagbin, why would I go through all that stress just to arrive in time?” she questioned.
Beyond the allegations, Safo claimed that there were deliberate efforts within the party to sabotage her, suggesting that spiritual forces were at play.
She expressed disappointment that despite more than five NPP MPs voting for Bagbin, the blame was unfairly shifted onto her.
