Mustapha Gbande, the deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has disclosed that one of his biggest political fears was Ken Agyapong.
According to Mustapha Gbande, Ken Agyapong’s frankness and commitment to speaking his mind make him a formidable opponent.
He explained that his concerns come from Ken Agyapong’s tendency to make honest remarks, even on issues others may stay away from talking about publicly.
Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia programme, Mustapha Gbande stated, “In fact, my biggest fear was how to deal with Kennedy Agyapong if he had become the flag bearer of the NPP. I was very worried”.
“I was worried because he’s a man who at times can move beyond the bars and speak the truth,” he stated.
Mustapha Gbande disclosed that a person who speaks the truth despite their flaws is one of the most difficult situations to manage in politics.
His comments come on the heels of Ken Agyapong, a former Assin Central MP and NPP flagbearer aspirant, who issued a stern warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), threatening to expose their actions if they continue to provoke him.
Ken Agyapong, however, in the heat of his submission, disclosed that the former NPP-led government under Akufo-Addo sold the Agenda 111 project to people and took a 10% share.
He disclosed that the NPP failed to complete the Agenda 111 project due to the 10% share the NPP were taking.
His comments follow the criticism he received following his remarks about the party for failing to complete and operationalise the Afari Military Hospital during its eight years in government.
Ken Agyapong dismissed suggestions that he was motivated by bitterness, adding that his comments were about national development rather than partisan interests.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, Ken Agyapong alleged, “The NPP says I am bitter. I will not say anything to them. They think it is about what they did during the campaign. They can’t shut me down. If Ghanaians want to know, they should ask them about Agenda 111 if they were able to complete one. They sold the contracts to other people and take 10 per cent,” he alleged.
“NPP should be careful with me, saying I am bitter. If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he cautioned.
He further alleged that the practice of selling public contracts and demanding.
Ken Agyapong alleged that similar incidents have occurred in dealings linked to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“In the NDC too, I was there when somebody brought a contract to my wife about 55 million dollars. She was asked to pay an advance of 7 per cent before they gave it to her,” he alleged.
He stressed that corruption remains deeply entrenched in Ghana’s political system, asserting that politicians are misleading the public.
Also, Ken Agyapong vowed to take action against members of his own party, the NPP, starting in June or July 2027.
According to Ken Agyapong, the NPP thinks he is stupid to come and follow them again, warning that from July 2027, they will see action from him.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, the former NPP flagbearer aspirant, Ken Agyapong, stated, “It will not be long when you travel the way they respect you, then when you get here. Somebody like KOKA is saying my head has been operated on. He does not know what will happen to him. NPP people, are you ready? I am saying June, July 2027, me and you action in Ghana, you will be surprised, you think I am stupid.
You think I am stupid to come and follow you guys again. If you were to say ten sins of Ken Agyapong, you wait and see what will happen. I am not afraid of you, you wait and see. I have given you the time, June 2027, you will see action in this country”.
@ghnow_ “The NPP was selling the Agenda 111 project to people and taking a 10% share; that is why they were unable to complete any of the projects. They think I will keep mute about what they did during the campaign. They can’t shut me down. If they joke with me, I will spill everything.” — Kennedy Agyapong, former Assin Central MP and NPP flagbearer aspirant, has issued a stern warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), threatening to expose their actions if they continue to provoke him. #GHNow #fyp ♬ Pintscher: Study I for Treatise on the Veil – Frank Peter Zimmermann & Heinrich Schiff
