Former Ghanaian ambassador to Italy and Upper East Regional Minister under the erstwhile Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and politician Tangoba Abayage has made a shocking confession of extortion plot against her during her 2020 campaign, when a mysterious woman dared her with her sex tapes.
In a Facebook post, Abayage described how a principal financier told her that a woman named Emelda Kumbono threatened to gag her sponsors with the claimed tapes for ₵50,000.
Abayage, who took an oath that she did not know the blackmailer, challenged her to release the tapes if they even existed.
She called the accusations imaginary, including the mention of musician Tiny being one of them.
The politician was incensed some colleagues initially took the imposter seriously and even wired her money in small amounts before finding it was a ruse.

Reflecting on the incident, Abayage warned women politicians to expect such attacks but urged them not to yield. “You can be wrong on moral grounds to have sex, but it is not illegal,” she said, emphasizing that she would not let such baseless allegations scare her off.
READ HER POST BELOW;
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 tinted 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!
