The former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Dome/Kwabenya, Mike Oquaye Jnr has refuted claims made by former Member of Parliament for the area, Sarah Adwoa Safo that he disrespected her father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, March 20, 2025, he emphasized that such actions do not align with his upbringing and values.
“I have and will never insult anyone’s father. My paternal Grandfather is a farmer, I am myself a part time farmer. I have never and will never do that. That is not how I was brought up and those who know me, know that I eschew insults”, it stated.
It also dismissed claims that he ignored the former Chief of Staff, Frema Osei-Opare and former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and other persons who reached out to him.
“I will never snub the then President, Chief of staff or any elderly person who calls me to see them. That is the trait of disrespect, and I am not like that. I have historically shown that for me it is always party first”, it indicated.
The statement clarified that he made attempts to reach out to Sarah Adwoa Safo after he won the parliamentary primaries.
“I tried on three occasions to reach out to my opponent after I won the primaries. Madam Sheela responded and we chat till today. I was rebuffed by the other person and her special assistant Nana Dubin told me after three weeks of trying that she didn’t want to speak to me. How then will I have been welcome to attend her church?
“For now, I leave the rest of the matters to God for he will fight for me.
I will never malign the party or any individual who calls me to see them. That is the trait of disrespect, and I am not like that. I have historically shown that for me it is always party first”, it added.
Sarah Adwoa Safo has alleged in a recent media interview that Mike Oquaye Jnr insulted her father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
