Gideon Boako writes on false allegations against Dr Bawumia.
I have seen a video in circulation with the narrative that some enraged youth blocked the Vice President’s convoy on the Nkawkaw-Kumasi highway on Saturday, 4th May.
This narrative is a blatant falsehood. The Vice President did not even use that road during the entire week. Thè Vice President was in the Western region on 1st and 2nd May (Wednesday and Thursday). He moved to the Western North region on Thursday, 3rd May, and got to Kumasi the same day around 10pm. He left Kumasi in the morning of Saturday, 4th May, to Accra by air. The Vice President did not at any time drive from Kumasi to Accra to have used the Nkawkaw-Kumasi road.
My understanding of the blockade is that there was an accident in which a loaded fuel tanker had fallen on the main road. The youth, in an attempt to prevent large casualties in the unfortunate event of explosion, blocked the road until the fire service and other security agencies cleared for commuters to use the road.
