New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Bibiani Anhwiaso Constituency, Alfred Obeng-Boateng says he has the financial strength to ensure the delegates of the party retain him in the party’s upcoming parliamentary primaries.
In a media interview circulating on social media, the former CEO of Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) asked his competitors to prepare adequately financially if they really want to unseat him.
The lawmaker who is also the Vice Chairperson of Parliament’s Government Assurance Committee said he will offer double whatever his contenders offer to NPP delegates.
“I am telling you that the money I will use for the primaries is in dollars and that money has been secured long ago, I must be frank with you. That is money I am not touching under any circumstance.
“So I laugh seeing all that they are doing, I have dollars there for that primaries. What I can tell my delegates is that I will pay more than double what anyone who will contest me will offer them, they should take that from me. If they come together and decide to pay GHC10,000 per delegate I will pay more than that.”
“Whatever they pay, even if they pay GHC20,000 I will pay more than GHC20,000 because I know how much I have put there; I know how much I have reserved. That is why I saved in dollars so that the money will not lose value,” he noted.
