Entertainment pundit, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has criticized detractors for misinterpreting Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong’s remarks about withholding power from the NDC.
Acheampong recently restated his position from 2023, firmly stating that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not cede power to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Speaking at a health walk in Kwahu, the Abetifi MP emphasized his skepticism about the NDC’s electoral prospects and questioned their relentless pursuit of power despite their inability to secure victory in elections.
“Last year I stood here in Mpraeso and said that whether NDC likes it or not they will never win the 2024 polls. If you don’t win an election, will power be handed over to you? We will not hand it over to them today or tomorrow,” Mr. Acheampong was heard saying.
His remarks have ignited widespread criticism from the public, with many arguing that they pose a threat to the country’s peace as the elections approach.
However, A Plus holds a different perspective.
Taking to Facebook, the social commentator defended Bryan Acheampong’s statements, providing a detailed explanation of what he believes the minister actually intended to convey.
“What is wrong with this statement? ‘You won’t win and if you don’t win, we won’t hand over power to you.’ What is wrong with it? Did he say if you win, they won’t hand over power? Have you seen or heard that a party came to power because they lost the election before? Work hard and win,” he stated.
A Plus continued, “When you are allocated money for the grassroots who are working tirelessly for the party make sure it gets to them. Don’t engage in the same 4ckry that went on in some places during the 2020 elections where some accept banku and tilapia, fried rice and chicken, etc on election day and allow their opponents to rig the election. If you don’t win, you won’t come to power! It is a m@da4kn fact!! Thank you!!”
