National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo has dared YouTuber and influencer, Kwadwo Sheldon to substantiate his claim of being invited to the party’s recent town hall meeting at Bukom boxing arena.
A day after the event was held on Monday, August 12, Kwadwo Sheldon claimed that the party invited him for the town hall meeting at the Bukom boxing arena with pre-determined questions to ask the NDC’s flagbearer.
Sheldon also claimed that he denied the request and invitation and insisted he will only attend the town hall meeting if he is allowed to ask his own questions.
“You know what be funny about this? They invited me for the Bukom thing on condition that they will give me the question to ask JDM..said it’s either my personal questions or nah.. be like they weren’t interested in that so I played FIFA,” he tweeted on August 13.
But the National Youth Organizer of the Party has debunked the influencer’s claim explaining that Kwadwo Sheldon was never invited for the town hall meeting.
George Opare Addo usually referred to as Pablo said Sheldon and his team had invitation for the NDC’s Youth manifesto launch which was held at UPSA earlier on the same day the town hall meeting happened.
The invitation, he said excluded coverage of the town hall meeting at the Bukom boxing arena, hence Kwadwo Sheldon’s claim can never be true.
“We sent invitation to all bloggers and social media influencers to come and cover…we wanted all of them to come and use their space to cover. Kwadwo Sheldon’s invitation was to come and cover the UPSA programme and I challenge him to put out any invitation he has which suggest he should come and cover the town hall meeting.
“His people came and cover the Youth manifesto launch so I don’t know where this noise is coming from. He did not have any invitation for the afternoon programme [the townhall meeting]…nobody told him to come and ask questions,” George Opare Addo stated in an interview shared on X by EDHUB.
