The Northern Regional 1st Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP, Alhaji Iddrisu Sunday, has denied demanding $20,000 from a businessman as a facilitation fee to meet with the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He described the businessman as a pathological liar threatening to sue for defamation following the viral video on the alleged bribe allegation.
“Mr. Claude Convincer Davit claimed that I, Alhaji Iddrisu Sunday, Northern Regional Vice Chairman of the NPP once in 2017 asked him to pay an amount of $20,000 as facilitation fee to meet with the President on his proposed business documents to start a Jatropha plantation in the Northern Region of Ghana”.
“I want to state categorically that Mr. Davit has demonstrated by his conduct that he is a pathological liar. The said businessman, Mr. Claude Convincer Davit had made claims that the Northern Regional NPP 1st Vice Chairman made the arrangement to meet with the president through the outfit of the former Deputy Chief of Staff now MP for Bantama and Minister for Works and Housing, Asenso-Boakye.
According to the NPP 1st Vice Chairman, the first time he met the said businessman was in early 2017 when he came to his private office in the North through a young businessman with a proposal on a Jatropha plantation for the production of biofuel in the Northern Region.
“The purpose of their visit was to seek political assistance from my outfit to get their proposal considered by the 1D1F Secretariat in Accra. Our discussion ended when I advised them to write straight to the Secretariat and also copy the Minister for Trade and Industry and get me the notification from there to help them see what I can do. Mr. Davit and his team left my office on the 20th of May 2017 and since then I have never set my eyes on him”. He revealed.
Alhaji Sunday denied that he never introduced Mr. Davit to Asenso-Boakye, neither did he make any claim of money from him to be given to Asenso-Boakye or anyone for that matter.
He urged the general public to disregard all allegations from the said businessman and to treat the same with utmost contempt.
“I have since forwarded the said video to my lawyers for study and advice on appropriate legal action”. He hinted.
