Razak Kojo Opoku rejects efforts to tie Bryan Acheampong to 2014 Alhaji Bature article

A leading member of the Bryan Acheampong presidential campaign, Dr. Razak Kojo Opoku, has dismissed recent efforts to link Bryan Acheampong to a 2014 article published by the late Alhaji Bature’s Al-Hajj newspaper.

He described the move as a “desperate attempt” to sow division within the New Patriotic Party.

The article, originally published on January 31, 2014, by a National Democratic Congress-affiliated outlet, has resurfaced online.

Dr. Opoku argued that the piece holds no current relevance and accused certain NPP members of weaponising outdated content for internal sabotage.

“Bryan Acheampong has NEVER commented on Ken Agyapong’s utterances following the 2024 general election. So how does a propaganda piece from 2014 suddenly gain relevance in 2025, 11 years later?” Dr Opoku said.

He criticised the resurfacing of the article as an attempt to undermine party unity ahead of the 2028 elections and urged party members to avoid being misled by misinformation.

The Bryan Acheampong campaign, which has gained momentum among NPP grassroots supporters, has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks. But Dr. Opoku stressed that the campaign remains focused on integrity and forward-looking policies.

“This kind of distraction does nothing but weaken our collective resolve,” he said. “Let’s build our campaign on vision, not vendettas.”
