Retired Brigadier General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah has denied media reports of endorsing the candidature of Ekow Spio Garbrah as he launches his campaign as flagbearer .

Former Chief of Defence Staff explained that he is not a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) therefore his endorsement of the former Trades and Industry Minister as reported by some section of the media in incorrect.

Mr Spio-Garbrah launched his ‘Forward Agenda’ on Wednesday January 3, 2018 which he intends to use to galvanise momentum for his bid to lead the NDC into the 2020 elections.

Mr. Nunoo Mensah said he was only there to support Spio Gabrah as a young man and not to endorse his flagbearership.

“I never made such remarks about he running for the NDC flagbearer because I am not an NDC member. I don’t have a vote in NDC”.

“There was a cocktail for journalists where he invited me. So, I said I supported his project to support young persons. I made that comment of supporting his bid to helping young people of being on their own”.

“The reason why I joined him is to encourage young people and not to endorse him for NDC flagbearership”, the retired officer said.
