Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the former Majority Leader and Member of Parliament for the Suame Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has quizzed Ken Agyapong following his insults directed at fellow NPP aspirant Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The former Majority leader comments follow, Ken Agyapong an New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, who has launched a scathing attack on him over a comment made by Chairman Wontumi.
According to Ken Agyapong, Bawumia is a big liar, and no Ghanaian trust him.
In a viral video shared on Facebook, Ken Agyapong fired a shot at Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, calling him a liar over a comment he alleged was made by the 2024 flagbearer of the NPP.
Ken Agyapong’s outburst stems from comments made by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
According to Wontumi, Professor Adu Boahen was not retained by delegates in 1996 after contesting the 1992 election due to poor health.
Chairman Wontumi made these claims while speaking to NPP delegates in the Ashanti Region.
He noted that the claim is in a book authored by Apenten Appiah-Menka, who was an associate of Professor Adu Boahen.
Kennedy Agyapong, reacting to the statement, fired a personal attack at Dr Bawumia, calling him a liar.
Mr Agyapong stated, “I have never seen a liar like our former flagbearer before. This man is a liar for saying that Adu Boahen did not contest because he was sick, you should not vote for a liar, a man who is lying to have power”.
“Listen to the history, Adu Boahen contested in 1992, and he won but lost the general election in 1996. The former flagbearer is in Kumasi, saying Adu Boahen was sick. Kufuor contested Adu Boahen, and he beat him to become the flagbeaerr, he was fighting to go on oppose, and they did not agree.
Someone who wants to lead this country, and you are lying and distorting history, don’t vote for someone like this. He has been given a nickname that he is a liar. He is a liar, and the people will not vote for him”.
He added, “When I heard him yesterday, a presidential candidate who wants people to vote for him will look eyeball and eyeball and lie, he is a big liar for saying Adu Boahen was sick, go and check history, I am more popular in this country than him, those who know him know him as a liar that is why we lost”.
Speaking in an interview on Owia TV, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Kennedy, asked Ken Agyapong, between him and Bawumia, who is a liar after mistakenly attributing the comments made by Chairman Wontumi to the former vice president and subsequently launching verbal attacks against him.
He stated, “Something that he hasn’t said, you claim he has said, and you have been insulting him. Why would you frame something on someone, accuse him wrongly and insult him on top of that?
“So, between the two of you, who is the liar? I even started the whole Adu Boahen issue,” he said.
