In other news, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a candidate for the NPP’s flagbearer position, has praised Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s impact on the party and Ghana in general.
The outspoken politician claimed that it was impossible to overstate the Vice President’s influence on the NPP in recent years.
Kennedy Agyapong made it clear in a speech to party members in the Upper West Region that his recent remarks about a strategist weren’t directed at Dr. Bawumia.
“The truth hurts… so you are the victim, and I am educating you, and you think I’m hitting back? You see, they are not being fair. I did not hit the Vice President but I hit one MP because he said, ‘We don’t want somebody who will come and say that I have done this and that for the party and Ghana, but we want a strategist,’”Agyapong told Home Radio in the Upper West Region.
“I have the utmost respect for Vice President Bawumia and his strategic thinking,” Agyapong, who is also aspiring to become the party’s presidential candidate said. “He has demonstrated time and again his ability to effectively strategise for the benefit of the party and the country as a whole.”
