Chief of Kade in the Eastern Region, Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II, has dismissed media reports alleging that he used a political platform to criticize the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

In a press release, the Kadehene clarified that a report by Peace FM, which alleged he participated in a campaign event organized by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, to attack the NPP and its flagbearer, was false.

He emphasized that he did not attend the event in question.

“The attention of the Kade Stool has been drawn to a false report aired by Peace FM regarding the NDC rally held in Kade, Eastern Region, on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

The report from Peace FM incorrectly claimed that I, Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II, the Kadehene, took the stage at the rally to criticize the NPP government and its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. This accusation is entirely unfounded and completely false.

“I wish to categorically state that I did not attend the said event, let alone make any statements regarding the NPP or its flagbearer. As a custodian of the Kade Stool and a certified professional Mediator Arbitrator, I am guided by the principles of neutrality, respect, and responsibility. I have always upheld the dignity of the stool and would never stoop so low as to engage in partisan propaganda or make statements that would tarnish the reputation of the office I occupy,” the statement said.

Osabarima Agyare Tenadu II urged the public to ignore the false report and also called on the media outlet to issue a formal retraction and apology, emphasizing the importance of upholding professional journalism standards based on fairness and accuracy.
