Posters of Dr Spio-Garbrah purportedly coming from the Friends of Spio-Garbrah have already flooded social media to inform the public about the minister’s intentions.
The group in a press statement said members of the group are disappointed in the proposed dates for both Presidential and parliamentary primaries of the NDC.
“We wish to state categorically that the names indicated as signatories to the press statement have never been part of the Friends of Spio-Garbrah since the formation of the group in 2006 until the group became defunct in 2009.”

Read below the statement:
“We wish to state categorically that the names indicated as signatories to the press statement have never been part of the Friends of Spio-Garbrah since the formation of the group in 2006 until the group became defunct in 2009,” Alhaji Mohammed Naziru, Special Assistant to Dr. Ekwow Spio-Grabrah said in a GNA report.
“We wish to state emphatically that Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has no knowledge or familiarity of such irresponsible and despicable acts by some who may not be even NDC party sympathizers.”
The statement entreated all members of the NDC to disregard faceless individuals seeking to create tension between the Minister of Trade and Industry and the NDC, and admonished the party’s sympathizers to support President Mahama in his efforts to change lives through the transformational agenda.
It said the security agencies had been informed by the Office of the Trade Minister to investigate the identity and the source of the ‘mischievous press statement’, expressing the confidence that the “faceless enemies of the NDC” who sought to disturb the current peace and unity in the party would be exposed.
