"It is so unfortunate that this old video has been adapted by opponents of Dr.
@MBawumia, who have maliciously captioned it and circulating it widely. This malicious propaganda should be treated with the greatest contempt.
"Dr Bawumia's campaign has been conducted in the most frugal manner, as has been testified to by delegates," he stted in a statement posted on Twitter.
"Team Bawumia urges the teams of other contestants, who can be clearly identified in the captioning and circulation of this video, to embark on genuine decent campaigns, devoid of lies, and mudslinging It is such a decent campaign that the Npp will benefit from," the statement added.
Disregard the propaganda video with a stockpile of money/cash
The attention of the @MBawumia campaign team has been drawn to a video circulating on social media and showing some unidentified people stockpiling cash in an unidentified location.
The video comes with the caption that the stockpile of cash is meant to be distributed to delegates ahead of Saturday's election to influence them to vote for Dr @MBawumia.
This is malicious propaganda. This video is an old video that has been in circulation since 2020, in the lead up to the 2020 elections.
It is so unfortunate that this old video has been adapted by opponents of Dr.
@MBawumia, who have maliciously captioned it and circulating it widely.
This malicious propaganda should be treated with the greatest contempt.
Dr Bawumia's campaign has been conducted in the most frugal manner, as has been testified to by delegates.

Kindly find attached the original story on the stockpile of cash when it first came up in 2020.
The Bawumia signal is strong. The campaign team remains focused on delivering a resounding endorsement on Saturday.
It will be possible.
