A visually impaired political activist, Duodu Bulgaria, has seemingly noted that Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, has a slim chance of being successful in his quest to become the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer and subsequently president of the Republic of Ghana.
In an interview on TV Ghana, the visually impaired historian, who did not point fingers, said Ghana will not be governed by a tyrant, as it would be against the will of God.
According to him, the country deserves to be governed by an individual who accords all the needed respect, irrespective of their background or social standing.
“I don’t want a president who does not respect people. I don’t want a president who would say, that blind person. I don’t want that kind of leadership because the visually impaired are not amputated; we can vote.
“Maybe if you become a flagbearer, there could be some delegates who cannot see. So I don’t want a disrespectful president or someone who talks anyhow. The God I serve, I know he will never give us a tyrant leader. A tyrant will never become the leader of this country,” he said.
Although Duodu Bulgaria did not categorically name an individual, recent commentary in the country’s political space suggests that Ken Agyapong is the man he talks about.
The presidential candidate, due to his track record, is known to be a no-nonsense man who does not mince his words in reaction to an issue he disagrees with.
He has also earned the reputation of going after journalists following his public backlash against Tiger Eye journalist Ahmed Suale.
During the NPP’s super delegates conference, he threatened to give Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a presidential candidate, and his boss, President Akufo-Addo a showdown over maltreatment against his agent.
Ahead of the party’s NPP Primaries, the Assin Central MP has had fierce disagreements with the party’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
