He insisted that his children legitimately acquired portions of the beachfront from the La Traditional Council, not the Labadi Hotel.
He admitted that while there had been initial talks between his sons and the Hotel, negotiations broke down, resulting in his sons engaging the La Council for the beachfront property for their business.
Freddie Blay stated that if the claims of illegal dispossession, as Ablakwa touted, were valid, the Hotel should seek redress in court.
He said the allegations of state capture by Okudzeto Ablakwa, Johnnie Hughes, and TV3’s management have brought him and his family into disrepute.
He issued a one-week ultimatum for the parties to retract and apologise for their statements, or he would go to court to seek redress.
Ablakwa responds to Freddie Blay’s threat
The North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called the bluff of Freddie Blay.
The MP, responding to Freddie Blay’s one-week ultimatum to retract and apologise for his allegation of state capture against his sons or face a defamation suit, said the former PP national chairman can go to court immediately.
He said he has no intention of retracting his allegations and has promised to reveal even more proof of state capture by the Blay brothers after his “Hands off Our Hotels” demonstration on June 18, 2024.
He urged Blay not to wait for the expiration of his one-week ultimatum and proceed with his defamation suit.
