New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has slammed the party for letting down one of its major donors, Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh.
He said that Ms Asomah-Hinneh, the owner of Labianca Company, a cold store business in Tema, had generously supported the NPP with funds and vehicles, but was rewarded with neglect and sabotage that led to the collapse of her company.
Speaking to NPP delegates in Berekum as part of his campaign tour, Mr Agyapong revealed that Ms Asomah-Hinneh was so traumatised by the party’s ingratitude that she could not bear to hear the name of a certain minister from the Ashanti Region.
“She paid duty for 80 pick up cars that we used for our campaign… But today, her business is gone under an NPP government. There is one minister who owes her an apology; he thinks he has it all.
“A young minister from Ashanti Region who makes her so sick that whenever she mentions his name, she says ‘Ken, let me visit the loo and come.’
“I swear to God. You can feel her pain for all the sacrifices she made for the party and how NPP has repaid her; very ungrateful human beings,” he said.
Mr Agyapong also accused some members of the party and the government who are loyal to a specific candidate of being unfair to him as well.
He urged the delegates to vote wisely and not to fall for empty promises or they would also suffer in the future.
The NPP on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, cleared all ten aspirants who filed to contest the flagbearership race.
The ten, including Mr Agyapong, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, will face a super delegates congress where the number will be reduced to five before the party’s main congress on November 4, 2023.
