New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has said Ghana is not poor but poor in leadership.
He asserted that in Ghana, the same people come around telling us to vote for them, but have failed to deliver.
Speaking in a recent interview in the Upper West Region, Ken Agyapong stated, “You are not poor; you are poor in leadership. And these same people will come and tell you, ‘Vote for Mr A,’ and they cannot change your life.
Kennedy Agyapong emphasised that Ghana need a businessman who will come and create industries.
He added, “You need a businessman who will come and create industries, at least in the five northern regions. I’m going to move two ministries to the five northern regions. The first one, I know, will go to Tamale — because of the Tamale Airport. And I’m sure, because you have the airstrip (Upper West Region), whatever you have here, we have to turn it into a proper airport so that we can send our produce to the European market, UK market, and the rest with cargo planes”.
He further heaped praises on the President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, for the development he is bringing to his country.
“We are closer to Burkina. Go and see what the young man is doing. Are you saying he’s a better human being than us? No, but he loves his country, that is all. He’s sacrificing his life for Burkina Faso. Do we have the same people here?” he quizzed.
In related news, Kennedy Agyapong has boldly declared he will not apologise to any fake pastor he criticised in the past.
The former lawmaker emphasised that his actions in the past were to correct some pastors’ wrongdoing within the church.
According to Ken Agyapong, his confrontations helped to correct certain misconduct among some pastors he claimed were allegedly duping church members.
Speaking to members of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church over the weekend, Mr Agyapong explained, “Someone said I should apologise to some of the pastors I spoke against. But I said that if I apologise to them, it means I won’t lead the country truthfully if I become president.
Some of these pastors have come to my house to apologise. If they had done the right thing, would they have sent people to my house to apologise?” he quizzed.
Mr Agyapong further added, “One of them was doing an illegal connection, and I made sure the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) disconnected the lights until he paid his bills.
Another one had taken someone’s property, and I ensured the property was returned to its rightful owner. So, it is not today or tomorrow that I will apologise to any fake pastor. And it is not because I want to be president that I will go and apologise. I am not an antichrist, I believe in God”, he added.
Recall that Kennedy Agyapong in the past launched a crusade to expose what he described as fake pastors in Ghana.
Mr Agyapong’s on his Hot Seat show on Net 2 TV targeted Prophet Nigel Gaisie, leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, and Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder and leader of International God’s Way Church, and other men of God he claimed were fake.
