Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has in a candid revelation made a striking claim that his pivotal role within the party is so recognised that there have been attempts to financially incentivise him to withdraw from the flagbearership contest.
Speaking on Tamale FM, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central disclosed that several individuals within the party have approached him, offering significant sums of money to relinquish his bid.
However, Agyapong insists that acceding to these requests would be tantamount to abandoning the party at a critical juncture.
Agyapong, known for his forthrightness, did not mince words as he underscored his indispensability to the NPP’s electoral prospects.
“…without me, the NPP can’t win elections,” he affirmed. “Do you know how many people are begging me? You know, the money that they’ve offered me to step down? If I step down, we will lose. With the sacrifices the party people have made, I cannot selfishly take that amount of money and leave them to their fate,” he added, highlighting his commitment to the party’s cause.
Agyapong further reflected on the possibility of being sidelined by his party, cautioning against the perils of such a move.
“How can NPP dump me? If they dump me, they will go into opposition. We all need each other,” he asserted, hinting at the mutual dependency between him and the party.
Drawing from the experiences of others who have felt exploited and subsequently disregarded, Agyapong voiced a stern resolution to avoid a similar destiny.
“You see, NPP will always want to use you and dump you. I will not allow them to dump me anymore; I won’t do it. I will not sacrifice for NPP, for my children, my family, and generations to be humiliated,” he stated emphatically.
These revelations have thrown a spotlight on internal dynamics ahead of the NPP primaries, hinting at underlying tensions and the high stakes involved in the jostle for the flagbearer position.
