Former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Hon. Irene Naa Torshie Addo, has issued a rebuttal to what she describes as a reckless and completely groundless allegation made by the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a statement released on her behalf, the former Member of Parliament and respected party stalwart dismissed claims that she made controversial remarks about the NPP’s performance in the 2024 elections in the Greater Accra Region. She described the accusation as false, baseless, and entirely manufactured.
According to the statement, signed by Kwasi Kwarteng, Esq., Campaign Spokesperson for Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong, the Regional Chairman relied solely on unverified social media content without making any effort to confirm its authenticity.

“In recent weeks, several fake posts bearing her image and the GHOne logo have flooded social media. GHOne has officially denied and discredited these posts. Yet, shockingly, the Regional Chairman chose to issue an official statement grounded in misinformation,” the release noted.
Naa Torshie maintains a firm stance: She fully rejects the allegations, urges the public to ignore them, and calls on party leaders to uphold due diligence before issuing public communications.
Despite the controversy, she reaffirmed her commitment to the unity and progress of the NPP, stressing that leaders at all levels must act responsibly, especially in a political climate already rife with factional suspicion.
The episode exposes deepening tensions within the NPP following its turbulent showing in the 2024 elections. Critics have accused some regional executives of weaponizing misinformation to settle internal scores, an allegation that appears to gain traction with incidents like this.
With this confrontation now in the public domain, many expect the issue to trigger internal discussions about discipline, fact-checking, and ethical communication within the party’s hierarchy.
