A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Frances Essiam has thrown a word of caution to Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, an aspiring presidential candidate of the party.
According to her, some utterances of Mr. Kennedy Agyapong puts the party in a bad light and as such she would not hesitate to deal with him if he should continue.
Frances Essiam was speaking in an interview with Wontumi TV on October 25, 2023. She believes Kennedy’s utterances has the tendency of tarnishing the image of the party and as a result, he should exercise decorum, and that failure to do so would result in a direct confrontation.
She believes there are people within the circles of Kennedy Agyapong urging them to refrain from communicating untruths to him.
“Akompreko, I am telling you, you are my younger sibling, if you open your mouth again and you do not seek the interest of the party… and those who have been speaking lies to him should be very careful because we know them,” Essiam warned.
Furthermore, Essiam urged party members to play a role in monitoring and holding flagbearer hopefuls accountable for their public statements, ensuring that these statements do not harm the party’s image.
“So, he should cool down and I am telling Akompreko that I am fire woman like him and I can engage in a showdown like him, so, I plead with him he shouldn’t let some of us give him a showdown.
“I am urging the party foot soldiers that regardless of the camp that you belong to, any candidate that will make utterances which will disturb the party’s image, we will deal with the person.
“…honorable Akompreko you are responsible for what comes out from your camp, that is the same way that the vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is equally responsible for anything that comes out from his camp but when we compare the heat at one camp it is higher than the other,” she added.
