Kennedy Agyapong, a member of parliament for Assin Central, has warned unnamed NPP opponents to stop trying to thwart his bid to be the party’s presidential flagbearer.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Sompa FM on March 10, 2023, the outspoken politician claimed that a minister of state had referred to him as the Peter Obi of Ghana.
Nigeria’s Peter Obi finished third in the national vote on February 25. He was the Labour Party’s leader and has widespread youth support on social media.
“Yesterday, a minister speaking to me referred to me as Peter Obi. Meaning the youth supports me but I won’t win (the flagbearership race). Tinubu didn’t have Buhari’s support yet he won. Out of shame, Buhari displayed his vote openly after voting.
“So, if you are a minister and you refer to me as Peter Obi, so be it. I can be Tinubu, I can be Peter Obi, so let’s conduct a clean campaign. Whoever wins will be supported by the group,” Agyapong submitted.
“But if you look at me and tell me I will be Peter Obi, they should dare me, they think I am afraid?” he charged reiterating his allegation that elements within the party were seeking to get at him through his businesses.
