Osudoku Chief Warns Sam George Over Slanderous Statements

THE PARAMOUNT chief of the Osudoku Traditional Area, Aadegbor Ngmogmowuyaa Kwesi Animle VI, has warned Samuel Nartey George, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, to be mindful of his slanderous statements against traditional rulers in the country.

According to the chief, the legislator's gross disrespect for chiefs had reached a pinnacle and has to be watchful of whatever he spews out.

He cautioned Mr Sam George when he was addressing a press conference on Monday regarding how the MP allegedly attacked him in the media over a publication that he (chief) was using military personnel to brutalise some Ningo settlers at the traditional area over land.

“It has come to my notice that the Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George, is making statements on the issue relating to the said press conference without cross-checking the fact. This is unfortunate. Let me advise that everybody should guard against defamatory statements that raise tempers because that issue is delicate and must be handled with caution.

“You, an MP, you don't even come from my constituency and I don't belong to you. You must respect any paramount chief like your hometown's paramount chief. When you hear something, the best thing is to take pragmatic step by way of approaching and cross-checking, but you don't just go on air and attack a whole paramount chief. You an MP, a political leader,” Aadegbor Ngmogmowuyaa Kwesi Animle VI fumed.

The paramount chief also appealed to journalists not to allow themselves to be used by self-seeking people to disturb the peace of the nation.

He described as false the claim that he uses military personnel to attack Ningo settlers and accused some Ningo and Osudoku citizens of conniving to sell some parcels of Osudoku land with the use of land guards.

Aadegbor Ngmogmowuyaa Kwesi Animle VI said the land guards brutalise people living at Agortor, Huapa, Adjakope, Kpatsredor and Sohapa.

He has therefore, vowed to protect Osudoku lands from going into wrong hands.
