Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called for a cease-fire between former lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong and the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
Chairman Wonumi speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV stated, “Kennedy, you are our elder brother. First of all, I plead with you, whatever has happened, please forgive, so that we can move past this issue.”
“In the same way, Chairman Abronye, I plead with you to also forgive and allow peace to prevail. It is not always that our elder siblings are right; sometimes, they are wrong. But because they are elders, we forgive them.”
“So I stand in the middle, pleading with all of you to forgive each other. The issue itself isn’t the problem rather, it’s how you react to it”, he stated.
Abronye at the NPP’s Thank You Tour addressing the gathering tackled allegations levelled against him. He recounted how was accused of instigating a political plot against a particular presidential candidate prior to the party’s internal elections last year over claims he was campaigning for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 presidential candidate of the NPP.
He also questioned the sincerity of persons preaching unity in the NPP, when, in his view, the same people had earlier sown seeds of discord within the party.
Abronye also rejected Kennedy Agyapong’s proposal that the party should grant amnesty to all former members suspended and those who have left the party.
According to Abronye, granting amnesty to people who had been punished by the party for misconduct would be a clear endorsement and promotion of indiscipline.
Kennedy Agyapong on the other hand took offence to Abronye’s words as being directed at him and fired his shots describing him as a poor man with confidence who talks anyhow.
Kennedy Agyapong, “I am telling you the truth, nobody is a better man than the other but because of this party, some people talk as if they are men. They are not men. When it comes to monetary contributions, they cannot partake in it.
They have to go and beg and they talk as if the whole world is for them. If not for the sake of unity, some of them cannot even speak the way they speak because you are even shy coming to my house”.
He added, “With some, we buy cars for them and they will come out to do ‘too known’…I will respect you but I won’t respond to some people or else you would see a showdown…I have money; I don’t beg. Even you, poor people, think you can talk boldly, how about rich men like me? Please! Who born dog for you to talk anyhow?”.
Abronye in later interviews, declared that he is ready to leave the NPP to fight Kennedy Agyapong a former presidential candidate aspirant.
Abronye DC noted that Kennedy Agyapong after attacking him called to apologize but later attacked him again.
Speaking on Movement TV, Abronye DC stated, “Kennedy Agyapong attacked me and later called me that he was sorry and I ended it. But on Wednesday he started the attack again I am telling you that the things Kennedy said in the NPP mark the end.
Kennedy Agyapong’s wild and unguarded statements about the NPP. I’m ready to square off with him. I’m even prepared to leave the NPP and fight Kennedy Agyapong with my blood. He is not the only man in the NPP, I will show him I’m more of a man than he is,” Abronye declared.
