On Accra FM, Hopeson Adorye, previously affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and now aligned with the Movement for Change, has announced his intention to publicly apologize to former President John Dramani Mahama.
Adorye intends to deliver this apology live on television, admitting that the campaign he participated in, which contributed to Mahama’s defeat in the 2016 elections, was largely founded on false accusations.
Considering the current situation under the NPP government, he remarked:
“As a human being, if you do something and you later realize the aim is not achieved, you need to speak up,” he stated.
In his statement, Adorye expressed remorse for his role in tarnishing Mahama’s reputation, saying, “I have said that one day, I will kneel down on television and say Mahama, I am sorry… The things we said about him; Mahama is a thief and all that, but Mahama was an angel as compared to today, we destroyed him for nothing.”
Asserting his integrity, Adorye emphasized that he has no association with illegal mining (galamsey) or any other dubious activities linked to certain members of the NPP.
Furthermore, he refuted any involvement in land-grabbing endeavors, specifically in East Legon, where he warned of potential legal consequences for individuals entangled in land disputes.
Adorye’s change of stance has prompted him to declare the formation of a new organization called the “Jail Them Advocacy Group.” This group seeks to advocate for the prosecution of corrupt officials within the current administration once there is a change in power.
