A member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) communications team, Frances Essiam, has issued a warning to Kennedy Agyapong, a hopeful candidate for the NPP’s flagbearer position.
She expressed concerns about Agyapong’s statements potentially damaging the party’s reputation.
During an interview on Wontumi TV on October 25, 2023, she emphasized the need for decorum in his public remarks, as any failure to do so could lead to a direct confrontation.
She further cautioned those close to Kennedy Agyapong to avoid conveying false information to him.
“Akompreko, I am telling you, you are my younger sibling, if you open your mouth again and you do not seek the interest of the party… and those who have been speaking lies to him should be very careful because we know them,” Essiam warned.
Additionally, Essiam called upon party members to actively participate in overseeing and holding flagbearer hopefuls accountable for their public statements, with the aim of safeguarding the party’s reputation.
“So, he should cool down and I am telling Akompreko that I am fire woman like him and I can engage in a showdown like him, so, I plead with him he shouldn’t let some of us give him a showdown.
“I am urging the party foot soldiers that regardless of the camp that you belong to, any candidate that will make utterances which will disturb the party’s image, we will deal with the person.
“…honorable Akompreko you are responsible for what comes out from your camp, that is the same way that the vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is equally responsible for anything that comes out from his camp but when we compare the heat at one camp it is higher than the other,” she added.
