The management of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association has refuted claims of funding the billboards of the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate-elect for the Ablekuma Central constituency, Jefferson Sackey.
Mr. Sackey, in an interview earlier this week, stated billboards and posters have been supported by an NPP group throughout the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association.
“All the billboards, posters, and brochures you see were supported by an NPP group within the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association,” he defined.
In an announcement issued on Friday, the affiliation disassociated itself fully from any claims of involvement within the creation or funding of billboards for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate.
“While the association acknowledges that there may be spare parts dealers within its membership who hold political affiliations and may individually support candidates, this does not reflect the stance or involvement of the association as a whole,” the affiliation added.
The management of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Association assured its members and the general public that it doesn’t take part in political actions, and any assertions suggesting in any other case have been inaccurate.
“The association recognizes the diversity of its membership, acknowledging that individual spare parts dealers may choose to support political candidates of their choice.”
“However, such personal choices do not represent the official position of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association,” it stated.
The affiliation reiterated its dedication to sustaining a non-political stance and guaranteeing that its actions focus solely on the welfare and pursuits of its members within the spare elements trade.
