    Mfantseman Netizens Rejects Widow of the late MP Ekow Hayford

    The Concerned youth and citizens of the mfantseman constituency have kicked against the proposed nomination of the widow of the murdered Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Ekow Keansah Hayford as the new Parliamentary Candidate to lead the Party in the 2020 polls.

    The name of Mrs Ophelia Hayford, the wife of the deceased MP had come up strongly and sources say the National Executive Council (NEC) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was considering presenting her soon.

    But the Concerned Youth of the Constituency had asked the NEC to rather consider Mr. James Korsah – Brown as the replacement of the late Member of Parliament ( MP) Ekow Quansah Hayford to help retain the party’s seat in the Coming December 2020 polls.

    Mr. James Korsah-Brown came second in the Constituency’s NPP Parliamentary Primaries earlier this year.

    “ We recommend Mr. James Korsah – Brown to the NEC to be the replacement of our deceased MP as he is known to be active and has immensely contributed his quota towards the development of Mfantseman Constituency”.

    Pengmediagh gathered on Wednesday that Mrs. Ophelia Hayford, a Police Officer had tendered in a resignation letter to the Police Administration.

    In a press statement signed and copied to the pengmediagh on Wednesday, Mr. Edward Afful Agyire, the conveyor of the group appealed to NEC to halt its decision and have a proper dialogue with stakeholders before a suitable and formidable candidate could be appointed and presented.

    Its said the decision on a successor should be done with a full consideration into the future development and for the good people of Mfantseman.

    It noted that if the NEC refused to pay heed to their concerns, then the Party may lose the seat to the opposition party in the 2020 election.

    It emphatically raised concerns that the “ No wife no Vote” placards and chanting at the house of the late MPs house was not a representation made of their interest as a party.

    The statement said that the intended decision by NEC has already started dividing the party in the constituency since some party faithful have threatened to vote against it.

    “ We have never seen the wife of the late MP on any political campaign in the constituency, we are not aware if she is a card bearing member of the party or not, “ He added.

    Mr. Hayford was brutally shot and killed by a group of gun men suspected to be armed robbers, on Thursday, October 08, on his way from a campaign tour on the Abeadze-Dominase road.

  • NPP are Calling my Lawyers to abandon Me, So I will be Jailed- MP for Assin Cries Out

    NPP are Calling my Lawyers to abandon Me, So I will be Jailed- MP for Assin Cries Out

    Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has opened up about his pending contempt case for the first time.

    Speaking on the Wednesday, October 14, 2020, edition of the Seat Show on Net2 TV, the MP revealed that some members of his own political party have made calls to his lawyer, Kwame Gyan, impressing on him to leave him to his fate.

    “All those calling my lawyer that I should be left alone to be jailed, the case is not over so I am not going to say anything about it. If you are not brave you won’t support the NPP because I have NPP members calling my lawyer to ask him why he won’t leave me so I get jailed,” he stated

    Mr Agyapong however made reference to a quotation in the bible and said the criticisms and sabotage from people within his party is something that is expected.

    “The bible says that any leader who is not criticized by some of his people means that he is not doing something right. So obviously you will get people who don’t like you,” he said.

    Revealing why persons within his own political party will be after his head, the influential NPP member said it is because some people fear he may be nurturing a presidential ambition and mentioned that he is rather focused on growing his businesses, making more money and creating employment opportunities.

    “They are saying I want to become president, me Kennedy Agyapong. Just give me work so I can make some cash and open industries. If you know the industries I am putting up, I want be president of Tema (industrial area) instead. Those who want to be president are there, just give me contracts, case closed. Stop the envy and asking that I be jailed, for contempt how long will I even be jailed for?” he questioned.

    The Member of Parliament for Assin Central, verbally attacked a High Court Judge, Justice Amos Wuntah Wuni, on same Net2 TV for issuing an injunction against him in a land dispute.

    The MP’s tirade on live TV went as far as him calling the judge a “fool” for which he has been asked by a high court to come and explain why he should not be punished for contempt.

    In a related development, lawyers of the MP have won an argument at the Supreme Court which on Wednesday October 14, 2020 ordered Justice Wuntah Wuni to step aside from presiding over the MP’s contempt case.

    Mahama Promises to make Kasoa a Modern City

    Former President John Dramani Mahama has promised to develop the Kasoa township into Ghana’s modern city if voted into power. The former president during his interaction as he made a whistle stop in Kasoa today, on day one of the Central Region, said the capital, Accra is gradually getting over populated and that most development are moving from the area into Kasoa hence the need to have a re-look at ways to developing.

    In his address, Mr. Mahama noted that it took its administration the foresight to invest in building road infrastructure within Kasoa to cope with the densely populated area of the Central Region. He mentioned that the fly over in Kasoa is testament to what the NDC intended to do for the people and within its aspiration of building a modern city.

    On this note, John Mahama promised to redevelop the Kasoa dual carriage road into a six-lane road infrastructure to cut down the traffic that ritually develop on the Kasoa-Accra Highway. He disclosed that this infrastructure will be funded from the famous $10 billion Big Push Program, if the NDC is voted into office.

    I know that Kasoa is in the Central Region and it’s.close to Accra, the capital. We must build Kasoa into another city as Accra. You know of my Big Push agenda. I am going to reconstruct the Kasoa road into a six lane highway. It’s disheartening being stuck in traffic when you returning from Accra.”

    He therefore entreated the electorate to vote for him come December 7 to enable him actualise these promises for the people. His whistle stop in Kasoa pooled quiet a spectacular audience, and that proves how loyal the people of Kasoa are to him.

  • ASP Ophelia Hayford has resigned from the Police Service to replace her husband as MP

    ASP Ophelia Hayford has resigned from the Police Service to replace her husband as MP

    Ophelia Hayford, the wife of murdered Member of Parliament for Mfantseman has tendered in her resignation as an officer of the Ghana Police Service ahead of a likely confirmation as her husband’s replacement on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party in the December polls.

    According to the General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu, Madam Ophelia, who holds the rank of an Assistant Superintendent of the Ghana Police Service, has resigned in order to take up her new role following the murder of her husband and the apparent unanimous endorsement she received from party members and Mfantseman constituents.

    Yes, it is to a large extent true. I have been to the constituency several times and the whole constituency leadership and party members, the regional [Executive] setup and the national [Executive] setup deem it fit that his wife [Ophelia] is the backbone of the husband,” Mr Boadu said in a Joynews interview monitored by GhanaWeb.

    She knows the constituency very well and considering the large support that the husband had and the kind of difficulties that the constituency is going through, a lot more of the constituents think that we should let the wife continue,” Mr Boadu added

    Speaking further, the NPP General Secretary indicated that there is a massive consensus without any form of descent since the name of the late MP’s wife came up for consideration as a possible replacement of her husband and indicated that the party will formally announce a decision on her nomination later.

    Mr Ekow Kwansah Hayford, the incumbent NPP MP of Mfantseman Constituency who was also the party’s candidate for the December 2020 polls, was killed by suspected robbers on Friday, October 9, 2020, when he and his campaign team were attacked on their way from a campaign activity within the constituency.

    The MP had filed his nomination with the Electoral Commission a day before his death.

    Based on provisions in Section 4 of the Public Elections Regulations 2020, C.I. 127, which states that: “Where at the close of nominations, but before the election, one of the candidates dies, a further period of 10 days shall be allowed for nominations,” the NPP has thus initiated the move to find his replacement.

    Wendy Shay to fight FDA, Gaming Commission at Human Rights Court.

    Songstress Wendy Shay says she is heading to the Human Rights Court to sue the Food And Drugs Authority(FDA) and the Gaming Commission for banning celebrities from endorsing alcoholic products and betting companies.


    The FDA has barred Ghanaian celebrities from advertising alcoholic products in the country.

    Recently, the Gaming Commission also banned betting companies from using celebrities for their advertisement and endorsements; a move which seems to be on the bad side of Ghanaian celebrities since most of them have contracts with betting companies.

    One celebrity who has been hard hit and has for some time now fighting these regulatory bodies is Wendy Shay.

    The singer has in a tweet called on her colleagues to come together to help fight these regulatory bodies because they are blocking their source of daily bread by preventing them from representing as ambassadors for organizations that produce alcoholic beverages and those who are in the betting industry.


    For her, she is taking up the fight by sending the regulatory bodies to the court for these laws to be reversed because they are all Ghanaians and deserve to be treated well by the regulatory bodies.

    “GH Celebs, can we put our differences aside and fight the system ?? I guess we don’t know how powerful we are … Well, I’m taking the FDA and Gaming commission to the Human Rights Court Celebs are also Ghanaians and deserve better !! Ghana wake Up !!”.

  • Razak Abalora: Asante Kotoko snap up Ghana international and former Azam goalkeeper

    Razak Abalora: Asante Kotoko snap up Ghana international and former Azam goalkeeper

    The shot-stopper has become the fourth acquisition of the Porcupine Warriors ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.


    Premier League giants Asante Kotoko have announced the signing of Ghana goalkeeper Razak Abalora.

    The shot-stopper has put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Porcupine Warriors, becoming their fourth signing ahead of the domestic football season in November.


    He was acquired as a free agent, having terminated his contract with Tanzanian club Azam FC earlier this year.
    “Welcome Razak Abalora. The former Azam FC goalkeeper joins us on a 3-year contract,” the Kumasi-based side published on social media on Tuesday.

    Abalora’s move to Kotoko comes just a day after he played the full game for Ghana in their international friendly fixture against Asian champions and 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar.

    He conceded once in the day as the Black Stars ran away with a 5-1 triumph at the Titanic Stadium in the Turkish city of Antalya.
    Earlier, the goalkeeper, who played for Wafa during his former days in the Ghana Premier League (GPL), was linked to Dreams FC who were reportedly on the verge of announcing a deal.

    His presence at Kotoko increases the high competition for a starting place in the Porcupine Warriors goalkeeping department where Black Stars shot-stopper and club captain Felix Annan and Ghana U23 goalkeeper Kwame Baah have been going head-to-head.
    Ghana U20 goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim, who spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Berekum Chelsea, is also pushing to take over the No.1 role.

    Annan was the first-choice goalkeeper until early last season when he lost his spot to Baah, having taken time off to tie the knot with his girlfriend.
    On his return, he failed to recapture the position as his replacement impressed in his absence.


    The development has led to a reported volatile situation in the Kotoko camp, amid speculation of a bad blood between the two goalkeepers as well as between Annan and the technical team, especially head coach Maxwell Konadu.


    Kotoko are currently in pre-season camp in Koforidua ahead of their 2020-21 Premier League opener against Eleven Wonders at the Accra Sports Stadium next month.


    The clubs have already signed former Atalanta of Italy man Patrick Asmah, ex-Karela United ace Emmanuel Keyekeh and Yusif Mubarik from Ashanti Gold.

  • Bayern sporting director addresses Coman to Manchester United transfer rumours

    Bayern sporting director addresses Coman to Manchester United transfer rumours

    The French winger was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.


    Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has addressed rumours of a potential transfer to Manchester United for Kingsley
    Coman.


    Coman has spent the last five years of his career with Bayern, having joined the club on an initial loan deal from Juventus in 2015.
    The German champions brought the 24-year-old onto their books permanently two years later, after seeing the talented winger establish himself as an important member of the squad.

    Coman has suffered serious injury setbacks since then, with a knee issue forcing him to miss most of the 2019-20 campaign, but he returned to action in time to help Bayern seal a historic treble.


    The Frenchman netted the winning goal in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on August 23, heading home after meeting a perfectly-flighted Joshua Kimmich cross at the back post.


    Despite the ex-Juventus star’s impressive contribution on the European stage, he was touted for a move away from Bayern during the summer transfer window, with Old Trafford mooted as his most likely destination.


    Coman was one of several wingers reportedly under consideration at United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sought to bolster his attacking options, but a final deal never came to fruition.
    Salihamidzic insists Bayern would not have sanctioned the departure of a prized asset with three years left to run on his current contract, and that the Red Devils never formalised their supposed interest in the first place.


    “There was nothing, and we wouldn’t have looked into it either. His goal in the Champions League final should explain enough why we are relying on him wholeheartedly,” the Allianz Arena chief told Sport Bild.

    Thiago Alcantara ended up being the only high-profile exit at Bayern this summer, as he completed a £20 million ($26m) move to Liverpool, while Leroy Sane, Marc Roca, Bouna Sarr and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were added to Hansi Flick’s squad on permanent deals.

    Douglas Costa also returned to the Allianz for a second spell on loan from Juventus, but the Bundesliga giants missed out on the signing of Ajax defender Sergino Dest, who joined Barcelona for £19m ($25m).


    Salihamidzic added on Bayern’s failed move for the United States international: “There are transfers that come to the point where you have to say: ‘We are out immediately’.
    “It is all the more important that one thinks about alternatives or alternative paths right from the start.”

  • Bruno Fernandes Has ‘Lost Faith’ In Manchester United Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

    Bruno Fernandes Has ‘Lost Faith’ In Manchester United Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

    Manchester United star man Bruno Fernandes has reportedly ‘lost faith’ in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, amidst claims the club have started talks with Mauricio Pochettino.

    There have been questions about Solskjaer’s credentials as United manager as far back as him taking the job in December 2018, initially as an interim, but those questions have got louder recently.

    The 6-1 loss to Spurs before the international break led to lots of criticism of the manager. Fernandes was taken off at half-time in that game and there were claims he’d argued with Harry Maguire and was unhappy with the manager’s tactics.


    Speaking on ‘The Transfer Window’ podcast, Duncan Castles said those reports were true and added he’d been told by a source close to the player that Fernandes doesn’t believe Solskjaer is ‘strong enough to manage the squad’ or ‘have the capabilities to push the players they have forward.’

    Those claims have also been backed up by Portuguese journalist Goncalo Lopes, who said it was true that the former Sporting midfielder had ‘lost faith’ in the boss.

    Castles added that the former Cardiff City manager wasn’t the only one who has caught the ire of the midfielder, with Fernandes also annoyed at the club’s transfer business.

    The podcast says that the 26-year-old doesn’t believe the summer window was good enough to help United get back to competing with the top of the table clubs.

    Whilst Fernandes was reportedly replaced during the Spurs game for arguing at half-time it led to more love from the fans, with many calling for him to take the captaincy from Harry Maguire.


    Solskjaer probably agrees with the player on that point, with reports that he didn’t get any of his top targets last January or this summer.

    The former Sampdoria midfielder changed the team’s fortunes last season. When he arrived at the end of January there was little change of a top four finish but his eight goals in 14 games helped lead them to third.

    Despite that third place finish Solskjaer has continued to be under a lot of criticism from the fans, even before the defeat to Spurs.

    The nature of the loss to Jose Mourinho’s team, the man Solskjaer replaced, the lack of his top targets, the talks with Pochettino and now the noise from the Fernandes camp suggests there isn’t long left for the Norwegian.
