Assin Central Member of Parliament, Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has made a quick U-Turn about a comment he made about the vice president a few days ago.
The New Patriotic Party presidential hopeful in a recent meeting with some delegates indicated that some leading members of the Akufo Addo government have brought disgrace to the party due to their bad strategic decisions.
He added that it would not be prudent for delegates of the party to offer such persons another chance to lead the party. He also added that the economy is currently in tatters under the leadership of some persons who are seeking to lead the party again.
Many attributed his comment to the Vice President and presidential candidate hopeful, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia.
Mr. Kennedy Agyapong has however indicated in another interview that he has outmost respect for the vice President, Dr. Bawumia and that his comments were not attributed to him.
“I have the utmost respect for Vice President Bawumia and his strategic thinking. He has demonstrated time and again his ability to effectively strategize for the benefit of the party and the country as a whole,” the lawmaker stated during an interview.
Despite his clarification, the MP for Assin Central did acknowledge that there are indeed some members within the NPP who need to re-evaluate their approaches.
He urged the party’s leadership to take prompt action in identifying and rectifying these issues to ensure the party’s continued success.
He further expressed his disappointment in the media for not always disseminating the full stories on issues.
The Assin North MP denied that a portion of his speech circulated about Dr. Bawumia was untrue.
