Agyei-Twum has confirmed the authenticity of the Facebook post in an interview with

“The Facebook post is corrected. It is from the Vice President’s vice and I can confirm the Vice President has no knowledge of the awards and he will not attend”.

“They may or may have not have invited the Vice President but all I can say is that the Vice President knows nothing about the RTP Awards”
Organizers of the event are yet to react to the Vice President's statement.
Meanwhile, Peacefmonline.com efforts to reach the organizers have proven futile.

Per the advert running, personalities invited to grace the occasion include, Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Former President of Ghana-John Dramani Mahama, Rev. Dr. Boadi Nyamekye (Founder and Leader of Makers House Chapel) and other dignitaries.

The Swedru based artiste indicated that, he will be performing at the event and entreated his fans to ignore earlier publications.
