Samuel Atta Akyea, the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, has told Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful, that a president is someone who has shock absorbers.
According to Atta Akyea, he is scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament, adding that he could beat someone in Cabinet as President.
Speaking on UTV, Atta Akyea stated, “In God’s name, I will not say I have a problem with Kennedy Agyapong, I don’t even have one problem with him, but to be a president it demands a lot of things.
I am scared of Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament; I am afraid that if God is not merciful to us, he could beat someone in the Cabinet as President. He does not have a heart. I know him like the back of my palm.
There is no way you can tell Ken to calm down, in public is where he show of his temperament, things that should not be in public he does not know how to do them”.
Atta Akyea further highlighted that as president, one must have shock absorbers, which Ken Agyapong does not have.
He stressed that when competence, temperament, intellectual prowess, and vision are combined, Bawumia is ahead of Ken Agyapong.
Atta Akyea stated, “The temperament of a president is someone who has shock absorbers; it is not someone who wants to fight people if they have an issue. He is my classmate. I would have followed him so that he would appoint me as Chief of Staff. Hostile language, insulting behaviours, from a leader of the nation.
We can open doors for him as a businessman to run a big business, but if we combine competence, temperament, intellectual prowess, and vision, Bawumia is ahead. When he has gotten to how do we tame his temperament, it cannot be done, even what you are telling him is offensive to him. Those following him today are even afraid to talk to him”.
Also, Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), a Ghanaian satirist and anti-corruption advocate, has said Kennedy Agyapong, cannot be tame.
KSM noted that Kennedy Agyapong is running to become president of Ghana, so he has adapted his character; however, he added that the former Assin Central MP cannot be measured and he will slip back to his old self soon.
Speaking on KSM UNFILTERED, hosted by Bridget Otoo, Kwaku Sintim-Misa explained, “Well, he is running for president, so he has to adapt to a new phase, so that is a new face now, as to whether that phase is sustainable, will he be that or not? That is the question for all Ghanaians to know and decide.
When asked if Ken Agyapong is capable of being measured or tame, he added, “No, you can’t tame him; he can be melo for a while and tolerate things for a while, but it will get to a point where he will say he is tired because that is not him. After a while, he will just slip back.
KSM noted that Kennedy Agyapong’s biggest mistake was joining Dr Bawumia’s campaign after his primary defeat.
“If Kennedy Agyapong had not campaigned for Dr Bawumia, he would have been more believable. After all the noise he made, he still campaigned for him”.
