Step down or I will let Bawumia treat you like Akufo-Addo - Addai-Nimo on 'threats' by Hackman According to Addai Nimo (1st from right), he was asked to withdraw from the 2023 NPP election Former Asante Mampong Member of Parliament and two-time New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential flagbearer aspirant, Ing Francis Addai-Nimo, has revealed that he was allegedly threatened by Hackman Owusu-Agyemang ahead of the 2024 general elections. According to Addai-Nimo, he was asked to withdraw from the NPP presidential race or risk facing the same treatment he allegedly experienced under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, this time under the leadership of then Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. Speaking in an interview on Neat FM on October 26, 2026, Addai-Nimo recounted how Hackman who is now chairman of the NPP’s Council of Elders allegedly contacted him and warned him to step down from the race. "When the numbers were reduced for us to contest the election, Hackman called me and told me to step down or he would let Bawumia do the same thing Akufo-Addo did to me. So, I didn't say anything and went ahead to contest the election," he said. $9M Romance Scam: Ghanaian twin brothers, US-based woman plead guilty Addai-Nimo explained that his decision to contest was intended to demonstrate to the party that, despite not benefiting from government, he still enjoyed the support and loyalty of some party members. He further stated that although he participated in the NPP presidential primaries, he did not campaign because he already knew the likely outcome of the election before the voting took place. The former MP suggested that Hackman's alleged threat could be interpreted as an indication of jealousy or a lack of confidence in his political capacity. Addai-Nimo contested the NPP presidential primaries in 2023 but lost to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who was then Vice-President of Ghana. It looks like you may be having problems playing this video.
