The people of Begoro, a community in Ghana, have been embroiled in a dispute over alleged politically charged remarks made by Nana Owiredu Agyarko during a campaign event attended by John Mahama. These remarks have sparked controversy and led to a petition by concerned individuals seeking redress for the perceived transgressions. The petitioners have demanded destoolment, nullification of Nana Owiredu Agyarko’s conduct, a public recantation of the alleged comments, an apology to the petitioners and the people of Begoro, and punitive customary sanctions if found liable.

These statements include endorsements of John Mahama as the next President, assertions concerning the NDC government’s economic policies, and accusations of vote rigging by the current government. The petitioners also express their concerns over a statement allegedly made by Nana Owiredu Agyarko, where he said that “the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress is the incoming President of Ghana.”
