Hohoe is peaceful, don’t give it a bad name – Tsekpo to Amewu
Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo has cautioned former Hohoe MP John Peter Amewu to desist from tarnishing the reputation of the constituency, stressing that Hohoe is a peaceful place.
His statement follows reports indicating that some unknown assailants, on Wednesday, March 5, stormed the former MP’s residence and fired gunshots with one purporting to be a court bailiff.
In an exclusive interview on Channel One Newsroom on Wednesday, March 5, Tsekpo refuted claims that gunmen reportedly stormed the residence of Amewu in Hohoe.
He maintains that it was only a delegation which included a court bailiff and a security personnel, that had gone to post a court notice on the wall of Amewu’s residence, adding that no guns had been fired.
Tsepko posits that Amewu had miscommunicated the incident to the media in an attempt to perhaps score some political point.
Tsekpo insisted that the Hohoe is a peaceful constituency devoid of disorderliness.
“The former MP knows that the people of Hohoe, we have five traditional areas in Hohoe, we are a very peaceful people. That is why I said he should exercise patience when such things happen. You will think you are selling your party but you are giving Hohoe a bad name. I don’t think his life is in danger.
“We were in the constituency last two weeks together. He himself said in an interview that when he was the MP and a minister, he was driving alone, so he is safe,” he stated.
