YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon has reacted to the daring by the National Youth Organiser of the NDC for the former to provide proof of invitation to the party’s Bukom arena town hall meeting.
George Opare Addo in an interview which has gone viral challenged Kwadwo Sheldon to provide evidence indicating his invitation to the town hall meeting.
This was after the YouTuber claimed he was invited by the party but denied the invitation because he was told he will be given questions to ask the party’s flagbearer.
In a tweet on August 15 shortly after Opare Addo’s interview went viral, Sheldon shared WhatsApp message and a call recording between himself and the NDC national Youth Organiser.
He subsequently held an X space insisting he did not lie about his claim and received invitation.
This was our first conversation where I agreed to cover the UPSA even in the morning and avail myself in the evening for the QnAs… why would I send a rep to come for the morning one and not come the evening one where I would be given the chance to ask the former president… pic.twitter.com/7x7Rt9ouyA

But he denied the request and insisted he will only be present at the meeting of he is allowed to ask his own questions.
““You know what be funny about this? They invited me for the Bukom thing on condition that they will give me the question to ask JDM..said it’s either my personal questions or nah.. be like they weren’t interested in that so I played FIFA,” he tweeted on August 13.
However, George Opare Addo refuted claims by YouTuber, Kwadwo Sheldon that the party invited him for the town hall meeting at the Bukom boxing arena with pre-determined questions to ask the NDC’s flagbearer.
In a video shared on X, George Opare Addo explained that Kwadwo Sheldon was never invited to the town hall meeting.
He clarified that the YouTuber and his team were only invited for coverage of the NDC’s Youth manifesto launch at the UPSA auditorium and not the town hall meeting held at Bukom boxing arena.
“We sent invitation to all bloggers and social media influencers to come and cover…we wanted all of them to come and use their space to cover. Kwadwo Sheldon’s invitation was to come and cover the UPSA programme and I challenge him to put out any invitation he has which suggest he should come and cover the town hall meeting.
