The New Patriotic Party’s candidate for the 2020 parliamentary elections in Navrongo Central, Tangoba Abayage, has opened up about her sextape extortion during the 2020 campaign.
In a Facebook post, the vociferous politician who led the Upper East Region as its regional minister indicated that in the heat of the campaign, she received a call from one of her financiers.
The caller, who rarely contacted her but was a trusted ally, informed her that one Emelda Kumbono was contacting her sponsors to inform them of having her sextape in her possession.
The lady, according to Tangoba, was charging Ghc 50,000 to keep the tape and prevent it from leaking on social media, as it could affect her chances of winning the polls.
Tangoba, in the Facebook post, indicated that the information shocked her and made her angry.
However, her financier, considering the story and its inconsistencies, noticed that the story was not truthful.

I PROMISED TO ONE DAY WRITE ABOUT ME AND SEX TAPES. 
Take a read.
In the heat of the 2020 campaign I was busy crisscrossing the constituency one day when I received a call from one of my major financiers. We rarely spoke on phone so I took every call from the person seriously.
He straight away asked if I knew one EMELDA KUMBONO and my answer was no. He was very surprised that I didn’t know her because according to him this was a person who seemed to know me very well. BUT I DIDN’T KNOW HER.
Then he dropped the bombshell: this girl had been going round those she perceived to be my sponsors to tell them she had hold of sex tapes of me and was asking for money to shush it. According to him, she had had a number of meetings with him and another to force them to cough out 50,000 cedis to kill it.
I screamed: “whaaaaaattt? And you believed such nonsense?” I was shocked and angry. I told him to tell her to post those videos on every social media handle and let them go viral. He then confessed that along the line they got to know it was all but a figment of some warped imagination growing up in her tainted brain or she had been led on by another wacko to believe there was something like that.
This financier knew very little about me aside my political campaign and so didn’t know if I may have been careless along the line and because of the huge respect he has for me, he was even scared of me getting to know or hear about it, let alone allowing it to come into public space if indeed it was true. So he and another member of my finance team wanted to just quench it with alacrity and were ready to go all the stretch until they sensed she was a miserable liar.
And you know what? It wasn’t just a tape oooo: TAPES!
1. One of the most ridiculous names that popped up as being in one of the tapes was Tiny: when I asked which Tiny, they said she said the musician. 
Tinnnnnyyyyy? Oh am I that pathetic? Poor me. I doubt if that boy even knows me.
Apparently she had already succeeded in taking a few thousands from people around me and I was hopping round completely naked without knowing this was happening.
Why will there be sex tapes about me? Under what circumstances, really? I NEVER ENGAGE IN ANY OF THE FACTORS THAT CAN GENERATE ONE: NEVER! And I don’t befriend useless freeloaders. I’m an extremely responsible woman who knows what I want, go for it and take full responsibility for my actions. All who know me know this quality of me.
And yet I had this small girl try to scam people using my name with impunity.
Till date I don’t know her. May be I have even met her but don’t know her. I don’t know what she did with those “sex tapes”.
LESSON:
As a woman pursuing politics in a country where everything is sexified and the only best quality of a woman is her sex symbol, it’s not out of the normal for them to come at you with reckless abandon. But as much as possible be ready to defend yourself in public and that means ensure the public doesn’t see what the public must not see.
As for the hearsay, arh you let that bother you at your own peril. HAVING SEX MAYBE MORALLY WRONG BUT DEFINITELY NOT A CRIME UNDER MOST CIRCUMSTANCES.
I am Tangoba!
