Speaking on Oman FM’s Boiling Point program, Mr. Agyapong, said President Akufo-Addo was repeating the mistakes of the erstwhile Mahama administration which triggered Ghanaians to boot them out of government. He said because of the NDC’s refusal to chastise the Ibrahim Mahama, brother of the former president, they ended up losing 2016 elections. Kennedy Agyapong insisted that persons like Duke Ofori-Attah and Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko have hijacked the president from everyone and are using their positions to engage in acts that could derail the party’s fortunes and sink the president’s image. Though not his first time, Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyepong says the president should be careful because most of those he has surrounded himself with are sycophants whose sole interest is to use his name to further their corrupt agenda.
