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.

It is a big shame that such beautiful country like ghana should be ruled by such individuals. These people who are not fit to take care of KVIPs are manning ministries. Oh ghana, never again !!!!
@ holy ghost. most Ghanaians are illiterates and nobody but remember that we gave power to the president and his ministers to become somebody. it is by that same power that they have acquired their masters degree from GIMPA and other institutions. kindly mind your language.
I know Agya koo long time before i know Mahama, so Agya koo you are popular!!!
Kofi Adams denied knowing the silly comedian, did not necessary mean he doesn't know him but rather simply saying the comedian is nobody, non entity and an illiterate.
we need change ND good employment opportunities.. infrastructure won't give us money for our pockets. let's face the truth.. dis govt must go... cus they can't rule a country. they are jux wasting our time.
Mahama used all the money in ghana to campaign in just 4 months to election and in 2013, he cudn't afford to pay teacher and nurses training allowance, something which has been maintained since 1960. He therefore resorted to borrowing but still not succeeding. Only few people are enjoying. Mahama must go.
Infact, if not politics how can someone like Agya Koo who cannot read and write English say that he is more popular than a President of a country.
Anybody with good sense of Judgement cannot blame Agya koo if he sounds like boasting because Kofi Adams knows he lied for saying he does not know Agya Koo. For me to put sense into some peoples head whether Agya koo if futuring or not futuring in current movies he is already a star and very popular in Ghana so if Kofi Adams does not know him, serious and truthful Ghanaians know him. Jerry John Rawlings is still popular even though he has been ex-president for about 16 years now so as Agya Koo still popular and will continue to be popular even if he retires from acting. When Mr Beautiful and John Dumelo declared support for NDC,then Adams did not say he does not know Mr Beautiful, hypocrisy at its best
Adamu Kotokoli aka Kofi is now irrelevant in NDC ever since his infamous secret tape saga. He was reinstated because of several plea made by Jerry Rawlings founder of the party.The party is careful of him. Important information is hidden from. He is therefore privy to NDC news and therefore relying on his usual attacks on NANA ADDO
If we are sttttupiddd as a people why will people support such an incompetent government.I weep for Ghana.Our black leaders are so incompetent.as it they did not go to school.Mahama was a mistake,borrowed more tham 30 billion dollars but could not transform the country.Egya koo is more sensible than this ***barred word*** called kofi Adams
