Leader of the group Steven Amoh, stated that Asenso Boakye, told the president that he has given the group huge sum of money to for their toils which contributed to the party’s victory in the 2016 election..
“Asenso Boakye has denied us all financial assistance from the president, H.E Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo, to us the deputy chief of staff takes money in the name of the group, but has never given us a penny before, this we see as an insult to us as members of our great party NPP”.
