Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a former Director of Communications for Dr Bawumia’s 2024 campaign has fired shots at the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, it is not in the nature of the NPP to wash it dirty linens in public.
He asserted that the disparaging and insulting remarks do not promote unity.
Speaking on Okay FM, Dennis Miracles Aboagye stated, “It is not in the nature of our party to wash our dirty linens in public or engage in politics of insults. It is not true that the Thank You Tour we just concluded was a campaign. All the national executives of the party participated in the tour, so, how can one say that it was a campaign?”.
He added, “If you go around making such claims and people vote against you, don’t turn around to play victim because the NPP delegates know their party very well. They won’t just vote based on some disparaging and insulting remarks but based on character and who can lead the party.
“Dr Bawumia has never been heard talking badly about someone just to win votes, so why would they do that? This is the same approach they took that caused them to lose the 2023 NPP primaries,” he stated.
His comments come after Kennedy Agyapong jabbed the 2024 presidential candidate of the NPP Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bawumia who lost with over 2 million votes cannot be given another opportunity in 2028.
Speaking in a viral video Kennedy Agyapon stated, “You can’t lose over 2 million votes and be given another opportunity to be NPP’s flagbearer.
NPP shouldn’t reward poor electoral performance with second chances”.
He detailed, “Even Prof Adu Boahene, who broke the culture of silence by facing off with Rawlings, we didn’t make him our candidate for a second time after he lost the 1992 elections.
Those who don’t want to speak the truth will tell you that President Kufuor went two times, Akufo-Addo three times. How many times was Adu Boahene made a candidate?
Today, everybody is enlightened, don’t let them throw dust into your eyes,” he said.
He added, “The reason we made President Kufuor our candidate for a second time was that he used only three to four months to campaign during the first time.
Because of the votes he garnered within the four months, we decided that he should be our candidate again. This is the reason why he won when we made him our candidate again”.
“When Akufo-Addo went for the first time, he got 49.3%. The election went into a second round, but he could not win because of Tain,” he said.
He further added that the Churches spoke but the New Patriotic Party (NPP) did not listen.
He added, “If they want power, Ghanaians say it is only Kennedy Agyapong they will vote for.”
“Do you want to remain home for another 4 years or 8 years? Are you ready for that? Let us listen to what the people are saying. Let us listen to what Ghanaians are saying”, he said.
Kennedy Agyapong further exclaimed, “The churches spoke. In this church we are in, they spoke. I am speaking in parables. The church spoke but we did not listen and we have seen what has happened”, he emphasised.
