Even as corrupt and incompetent as he is it is wrong to threaten a sitting president. There is a difference between nana the person and nana the president. It is totally out of order to threaten a sitting president and the vice president in the full glare of the public. You are seeking to come to an office which you disrespect and denigrate. This a democracy if even dysfunctional. With this behaviour you want to be president! If it were anyone doing what ken aagyepong did would the person not find himself/herself in jail? This guy thinks because he has money he can do whatever he likes? He can talk anyhow anytime he feels like? You won't be president with this inflammable temperament! To hell with him!
2024, just prepare for Opposition. we will give u a showdown. watch out for New PRINCIPLE PARTY (NPP) we are coming with VIM.
This guy is not a mature politician and not fit to be president. He is a businessman. He talks too much.
They must be careful to handle him well other than that they will leave to regret
Can you explain or define in the simplest form the meaning of showdown? obviously...there is a contest hence the meaning of the word showdown. It is obvious that the state apparatus are behind Dr. Bawumia, and also the open declaration by some executives of the party clearly violates the party's constitution. The party is defending its integrity when it is attacked openly but refuse to deal with internal indiscipline. Hon. Ken and Hopeson have done nothing wrong....they were expressing internal matters which the puppet and weaken management of the NPP haven't been able to manage properly. My heart gladdens when women are given high positions in government but Frema Opare Addo the chief of staff will sadly go in history as one of the most corrupt chief of staff in the 4 republic.
This guy is uniquely unpresidential! The fact he has come 2nd is an indication of how corrupt Ghanaians are especially those ediots they call delegates! He bought his way through! Whilst I am against the establishment that has misgoverned us for so long I don't think Ken Agyepong has what it takes! Look at the way he was ranting like some lunatic in the full glare of the public! What does he want at all apart from the juicy contracts awarded to him and his wife during this corrupt npp government in the last 7 years?
Please Hon. Kennedy Agyapong is the MP for Assin Central not Assin north. So, all these brouhaha about James Gyekye Quayson in the media and legal space, you still don't know who the MP for Assin north is? The amazing thing is that anytime ghanaweb makes errors in their reportage, Peacefmonline will go and carry same and dump it on readers. Bet me if Ghanaweb spells " peace" wrongly, Peacefmonline will carry same onto their platform without any corrections. This is unacceptable.
