Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Assin Central MP, has indicated that former President John Dramani Mahama remains influential in the NDC because he is the richest person in the party.
Reacting to a 2020 interview the former president granted Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Agyapong stated that Mahama, as an MP used to borrow from the NDC welfare committee in Parliament, “today President Mahama from Vice President to President; you’re the richest person in NDC, that is why NDC is afraid that somebody contests him for the flagbearship.”
“President Mahama used to borrow from NDC welfare, how come that he became a Vice President and later President for one term, you’re the richest person in NDC. NDC electorates decided to vote against you Mahama because of your family members, today, you are able to speak against Akufo-Addo and his family?” Kennedy Agyapong quizzed while speaking on Net 2 TV.
He indicated that if the current President is doing what Mahama did in 2016 – cronyism and favoritism, then he needs to be punished for it because he does not condone such behaviors from our leaders.
He alleged that, before John Dramani Mahama left office in 2016, he signed a Bauxite contract for his brother Ibrahim Mahama, something which he considers as worst than what President Akufo-Addo is doing and he should be punished for it as well.
He charged the NPP communicators to come out and respond to John Dramani Mahama any time he speaks.
“Why should I be doing Yaw Buaben Asamoa’s job. This is the work of Yaw Buaben to come out as a Communications Director to respond accordingly. Today, I’m responding to Mahama for you people to see…” he noted.
