His comment after the NDC’s town hall meeting held at the Bukom boxing arena on Monday, August 12 has since caused controversy with many questioning the veracity of Sheldon’s claim.
However, the party’s National Youth Organiser has responded to the claim by Kwadwo Sheldon. In a video shared on X, George Opare Addo explained that Kwadwo Sheldon was never invited to the town hall meeting.
He clarified that the YouTuber and his team were only invited for coverage of the NDC’s Youth manifesto launch at the UPSA auditorium and not the town hall meeting held at Bukom boxing arena.
He dismissed Sheldon’s claim that the party had given a set of questions to the influencers who were present at the town hall meeting.
“We sent invitation to all bloggers and social media influencers to come and cover…we wanted all of them to come and use their space to cover. Kwadwo Sheldon’s invitation was to come and cover the UPSA programme and I challenge him to put out any invitation he has which suggest he should come and cover the town hall meeting.
“His people came and cover the Youth manifesto launch so I don’t know where this noise is coming from. He did not have any invitation for the afternoon programme [the townhall meeting]…nobody told him to come and ask questions,” George Opare Addo stated.
The NDC National Youth Organizer, George Opare Addo, popularly known as Pablo, has challenged claims made by Kwadwo Sheldon regarding an invitation to the NDC program at Bukom Arena last Monday.
