Two female journalists on Okay FM have ridiculed presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, ahead of the party’s presidential primaries slated for November 4.
They are stunned by some recent comments made by the Assin Central MP against Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, one of the presidential aspirants.
Mr Kennedy Agyapong made a bold statement over the murder of Tiger Eye investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
He noted that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia should know the person responsible for the killing of the journalist, rejecting assertions of any involvement in the crime. Mr Agyapong made this known during an interview on Kessben TV on Monday, September 18, 2023.
“Those who wrote the 10 sins (of Ken Agyapong) in support of Bawumia, he (Bawumia) is the vice president, he is the head of the police council, they know the killers of Ahmed Suale, why have they not spoken out? And they are coming to blame me for it,” he is quoted to have said.
This comment, according to two of Okay FM’s journalists, is propaganda in nature. According to them, such an information should have been disclosed earlier, as Ahmed Suale was killed four years ago.
In 2021, Mr Agyapong noted that a person named Ansu Gyeabour, residing in Kumasi, is the alleged perpetrator in the Ahmed Suale murder case. He claimed to have received this information from the police, who assured him of his innocence in the matter.
The journalists also made a mockery of his “showdown” comment made when the party held its Super Delegates Conference. He made the comment while reacting to allegation of agent suppression by the government.
