The report said he has confessed to some individuals that he [Nketiah] told Koku Anyidoho to contest because he would no longer contest the race.
But Mr Asiedu Nketia who sounded angry over the story denied sending a delegation to Koku Anyidoho.
According to him, he has done no such thing and blamed some faceless individuals for orchestrating such reports.

He also revealed that Koku Anyidoho recently led a group of NDC elders to come to his official residence to apologise for claiming that he [Koku] received blessings from him [Nketiah] to contest because he was no longer interested.
He made reference to Dr Carl Mark, Mr Kofi Attoh and five others saying, “these individuals came to me and apologizedâ€.
“How on earth would I beg Koku not to contest? I was very angry when I saw the story because I never did such a thing. I have no problem if Koku contests me. It is his right but reporting that I begged him to step down was false,†he said.
“Koku rather came to me with some NDC members to apologise for claiming that I have given him the green light to contest. I accepted the apology and asked that we move on to develop the party,†he said on Accra based Okay FM monitored by Adomonline.com.
