According to him, those allegations are \u201coutright and blatant lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish to put on record that I have never met this unnamed, unidentified woman or the elders and the chiefs she claims she brought to meet with me. It is interesting to note that she does not put out any details of the alleged meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe does not state the date of the meeting, the place where the meeting took place, and the names of the elders and chiefs who accompanied her to the alleged meeting. That is because the so-called meeting never took place, or at least, not with me. As is public knowledge, I am the Secretary to the President and not the President\u2019s spokesperson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Asante Bediatuo further insisted the said audio was created to cause disaffection for him as a senior government official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrdinarily, I will not dignify such baseless allegations with a response to give it oxygen in the media space. However, such false allegations in the manner presented can be believed by some people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI, therefore, consider it necessary to put out this statement because the allegations made in the audio recording have no iota of truth, are pure fabrications, and are malicious, with the sole aim of courting public disaffection for me as a senior official of this government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Asante-Bediatuo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-751767\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: citinewsroom.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>&nbsp;and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nana Asante Bediatuo, the Secretary to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has flatly denied claims by an unnamed woman in an audio that has gone viral, that he held a meeting with her and others in a bid to sell the Art Centre, a public property.
