Mills emissary attempted to bribe me with car and cash - Sekou Nkrumah

Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, son of Ghana’s first president, who recently fell out with the ruling National Democratic Congress, says a member of the party on Tuesday December 6, 2011 attempted to bribe him with cash and a car so he would do the party's bidding. But he warns the party to stay away from him.
Sekou who spoke on Asempa FM claimed a former NDC member of parliament arranged a meeting with him on Tuesday December 6, 2011 during which he (ex-MP) attempted to bribe him with a car and an unspecified amount of money but he rejected it.

His claim of attempted bribery was vehemently opposed by panel member Alhaji Bature, who maintained that the named ex-MP is a noted philanthropist who could have made the offer without any ulterior motive.
Sekou Nkrumah was dismissed as the Coordinator of the National Youth Council over a year ago after he launched a scathing attack on President J.E.A. Mills, labelling him as a weak leader in an interview with the Africa Watch magazine.
He announced his resignation from the NDC on Tuesday September 13, 2011 explaining that his continued stay in the NDC could be an obstacle to his sister, Samia Nkrumah’s new political role as chairman of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP).
However, narrating the incident on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on Tuesday December 6, 2011, Sekou Nkrumah said he was approached by the General Secretary of the Peoples National Convention (PNC) who told him of the intentions of the ex-MP, now an established businessman, to meet him.
According to Sekou, upon reaching the house together with Benard Monah, the ex-MP insisted on giving him (Sekou) the vehicle and money.

When challenged by Ekosii Sen host Nana Bobie Ansah on the credibility of his claims, Sekou said “I don’t make up stories”.
Dr. Nkrumah stated that his refusal was based on his principle never to accept anything from any close associate of President J.E.A. Mills or from a party he resigned from.
The Mills critic was convinced the 'bribe' was a trap intended to compromise him to run down the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and their flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo ahead of the 2012 general elections.
Sekou Nkrumah observed that should he had fallen for the trap; it would have undermined his integrity as an objective and credible politician in the country.
“The NDC should stay away from Sekou; I'm just supporting Nana Akufo-Addo for a change”.
