Three New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament (MPs) have warned the media to desist from using their names in a propaganda war against their flagbearer for the 2012 presidential elections, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. A release issued by Dominic Nitiwul, Isaac Kwame Asiamah and Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, MPs for Bimbilla, Atwima-Mponua and Takoradi respectively slammed pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) media houses for reporting that the NPP flagbearer had not involved the youth in his campaign team. �Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate use of our names in attacking our flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the supposed non-involvement of the youth in his national campaign team by certain media houses. �For the record, we are deeply involved in the �Victory 2012� campaign at the highest level and we see this media propaganda as a means to create a rift between Nana Addo and us,� the MPs stated. According to them, the members of the various campaign teams across all levels number over 400,000 and they are pleased to say that the youth form over 70 percent of Nana Addo�s �Victory 2012� campaign team. �We have never complained privately or publicly to any person or group of persons and we want to use this medium to thank the flagbearer for involving us deeply in all his decisions he has taken so far concerning his campaign towards victory in 2012,� the trio emphasised.
