Hopeson Adorye, a member of the Movement for Change, has suggested that the woman purported to be Sarah Adwoa Safo on the day Parliament voted to pass the E-Levy has obvious features that give her away as an impostor.

He made these allegations during a discussion on Onua TV’s Maakye on March 20, 2025, while exploring recent revelations made by Sarah Adoa Safo in a series of interviews.

“The footage of the woman in the nose mask revealed that she clearly has different features from Adwoa Safo. The body size could be justified on grounds that perhaps she had gained weight due to childbirth, but the forehead and neck clearly do not resemble Adwoa Safo and Bagbin must take decisive action to probe this matter to reach a sane conclusion,” he demanded.

Adorye, a former member of the NPP, indicated that the act was tantamount to fraud and insisted that heads must roll on the issue that implicates the then leadership of the NPP caucus in Parliament.

He advised Sarah Adwoa Safo to bite the bullet and reveal the truth behind the matter to absolve herself from any criminality.

“They should invite Adwoa and project the images of herself juxtaposed with the masked woman and allow her to point out which of the two pictures is her. She maintained her silence under duress, but she should open up now since the NPP is out of power. She should come out before any investigation proves otherwise,” he said.

He added that it is public knowledge that she was consistently present on social media platform, TikTok around the same period when the Parliament was preparing for the E-Levy voting.

He stressed that her claim that she did not vote on the E-Levy betrays her assertion that she was the same woman behind the mask on that day.

Hopeson Adorye demanded a thorough investigation stressing that Parliament can provide footages from as far back as 1992 to aid the process.

He stated that failure by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin to initiate an action on the matter would be a dent on his reputation.

“It is fair to say that, at the time it happened, the NDC was in opposition and it was quite difficult to press for a resolution on the matter. But now the NDC is in power and Bagbin has all the needed apparatus within his reach to launch a full-scale investigation in the matter,” he said.
