The aide of the embattled General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Davis Opoku has challenged the authenticity of the publication by the Informer newspaper that Kwabena Agyepong has begged for leniency on his alleged impending suspension.

According to the Informer newspaper's story headlined;"On Impending Suspension...Kwabena Agyepong Begs For Leniency" there is credible information to the effect that, the NPP’s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong has been lobbying influential members of his party to intercede on his behalf.

Currently under serious cross-examination by the NPP National Disciplinary Committee over issues of misconduct, among others, following a petition sent to it, the insider-sources of this newspaper has revealed that Kwabena Agyepong has not only become sober, but is also begging for leniency so not to be suspended indefinitely, like his beleaguered Chairman, Mr. Paul Afoko.

But reacting to the publication on Okay Fm’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Davis Opoku rubbished the story as not credible without basis because his boss, Kwabena Agyepong has not done anything wrong in violation with the constitution of the party.

“Why will he apologize and beg for leniency? What has he done; has he slept with anybody’s wife or flouted the laws of the party? This story is done to embarrass Kwabena Agyepong. What I know is that, Kwabena Agyepong has never begged for leniency but only responded to the call of the Committee and he will reappear to answer some questions,” he reacted.

He added the write-ups and the various petitions against Kwabena Agyepong do not surprise him as all sort of lies, including K.T. Hammond’s petition which says Kwabena Agyepong should be suspended because he didn’t allow him to go unopposed.

He maintained that Kwabena Agyepong will continue to engage the National Disciplinary Committee to respond to all the various petitions but wondered how such information could come out as the case being held in-camera.
