“DISCLAIMER.
HASAN TAMPULLI BLOWS 15 BN GHC ON RENT.
My attention has been drawn to the above caption accompanied by a story attributed to The New Vanguard that claims the CEO of NPA has spent huge sums of money on his rent.
Indeed l have received several calls from colleagues in the media, home and abroad to ascertain if l have any link with The New Vanguard.
For the records there is no newspaper called The New Vanguard.
The said news item was created on a portal by faceless characters for their political mischief.
I am and still the Editor -In-Chief of The Vanguard, a paper with over two decades of unblemish record.
The New Vanguard does not provide any identity or author to authenticate its credibility.
I am by this disclaimer distancing The aVanguard from The New Vanguard”
