The leader of the head porters, Hajia Adiza Zongo, in presenting the cash to the party at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium said “We don’t want Nana Addo to go for any money to end up [like] the Woyome Saga.”
Their leader had subsequently accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of allegedly sparking the fire to punish the head porters when they announced their intentions to support the NPP’s fund raising event, Kumasi-based Ultimate FM had reported.
Speaking at the function, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo said the fund raising initiative is laudable, calling on all and sundry to vote for him in the 2016 elections.
