Veteran Actor, Kofi Adu, aka Agya Koo, has fired back at the National Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Kofi Adams, after the latter claimed he did not know him.
The popular actor says he is not surprised by Kofi Adams' comment because "for more than three years Ghanaians had been living in the dark and so most TVs were off".
Mr. Kofi Adams was quoted to have said he did not know who Agya Koo was and when we are talking about movie stars and celebrities, it is the likes of John Dumelo he can recognize.
But the veteran local movie star, who has launched Agenda 57% to canvass votes for the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo, said he was least perturbed by the assertion of the NDC man, stressing that there was no way Mr. Kofi Adams could recognize him since Ghana had been in darkness for so long.
"If Kofi Adams says he doesn't know me, I am not surprised because his TV was off because of Dumsor; which his government inflicted on Ghanaians," the veteran action stated in an interview with HELLO FM in Kumasi.
Agya Koo emphatically stated that not even 100 NDC ministers under the current administration can match his popularity.
"I don't like bragging but I can tell you for a fact that not even NDC ministers can match my popularity. They can sit there and deceive themselves but we are focused on what we are doing because we know what Ghanaians want and that is change," He said.
Agya Koo also confirmed rumours about how some top ranking personalities tried to talk him out of declaring his support for Nana Akufo Addo.
Few hours to the press conference to officially announce his endorsement, reports indicated that the celebrated actor received a call from the Presidency, asking him to rescind his decision but he insisted, contending that his decision was not borne out of his personal interest but that of the entire Ghanaian populace.
Agya Koo also hinted how he and his colleagues intend to take their campaign to remote parts of the country to interact with the people and explain to them the need for change in the political administration of this country.

One thing ,I can assure Ghanaians about Nana is that he will fight corruption .For this reasons some old NPP guys are afraid that they will get into problems when Nana wins.
Daddy Lumba without any doubt is more popular than agya koo, he compose the most popular campaign song ever in the history of the fourth republic for Nana Addo which is still considered the best campaign song, yet Nana still lost the elections three times Wat is written is written not even a local champion like agya koo can change that JM Toaso
Agya koo u are still the best change is coming Nana all the way
Looks like Agya Koo is stoking fire! More fire Agya Koo!! If Agya Koo isn't popular why are observers worried?
Agya koo can convince more villagers to vote for npp than all the maggggots in ndc combined. I kno it is paining ndc very much that all their so-called celebrities is no match to agya koo's appeal! I am for change & i know npp will win and put ghana on the right course! Agenda 57%!!!!
Yes, you are very popular. Who says fuuulls cannot be popular. There are fuulls like nana who take delight in celebrating other fuulls so its not news if you are popular because you are popular to your audience who are like minded.
the impact of Agya Koo in sending Nana to the castle is my problem. But he has the right to join any political party. I have however see that Agya Koo has sounded arrogan if this is his response. To try to brag that you are more popular than the president's ministers perhaps also suggest disrepect to the presidency. Kofi Adams is a campaign team secretary. He and others like Anthony Kabu would usually try to go against opinions that go against their political parties. A professional would be aware of that and not lose his head when responding to such people.
KOFI ADAMS DOES NOT WATCH AKAN FILMS SO IF HE SAYS HE DOES NOT KNOW YOU AGYA KOO WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?IF YOU ARE POPULAR THAN MAHAMA THEN STAND FOR ELECTIONS IN GHANA LETS SEE.
Agya koo is a great man let me ask who is Kofi Adams.vote for Nana addo for better Ghana.God bless Nana, God bless Ghana.
AGYAKOO thumps up! More Fire!!!
