In a firm rebuttal to recent rumours, the Office of the President has issued a statement clarifying that no presidential pardons have been granted, despite circulating reports suggesting otherwise.
The media frenzy began when some outlets claimed that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had pardoned 11 individuals, sparking widespread discussions and speculations across the nation. However, in a swift response, the Office of the President took to the public platform to set the record straight.
“We wish to categorically state that these assertions are inaccurate, and no pardon has been granted by President Akufo-Addo,” the official statement read. The Office further urged the public to disregard the misinformation and rely solely on official communications from the presidency.
In light of the public outcry that followed the reports, many have questioned the origins of the rumours, with some attributing them to political motives, while others believe it could be an unfortunate mix-up or misinformation by certain media outlets.
