Ashanti Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Chairman Wontumi; has disclosed source of the information that caused Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong to go 'into a fit.'
Agyapong angrily threatened a showdown with president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia citing an attack on his agent in the Central Region during the August 26, 2023 super delegates conference.
Wontumi, in an interview with Metro TV revealed that it was Kwame Owusu, a former boss of the Ghana Maritime Authority, who called Kennedy to inform him about the said development.
"Something happened in the Northern Region and the people who were there just called Kennedy to tell him, it was specifically my uncle, Kwame Owusu… he called Kennedy and you know at a time like this his energy will be high.
"And you are not there but called him to say this what has happened, meanwhile we have police and agents there, so, why do you have to talk?" he stressed.
He said Kwame Owusu, who was in Kumasi, was talking to Ken in intervals of five to 10 minutes in his capacity as a campaign lead for the Assin Central MP, giving updates from across the country.

You people should emumerate the benefits he is getting from the party and stop talking about his sacrifices. The man is not a presidential material, facts are facts. Ken cannot use his money to influence everybody.
@ Peters what a wise saying, mature mind speaking: "with money you can buy food but not appetite"I love it If Ken ia able to ponder on these he is good to go. Voters in Supper delegate conference are those who are not hungry and do not know what is happening in the Country, we will know real status on 4th November 2023 when citizens cast their votes
Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has a large following among ordinary NPP supporters because of the sacrifices he has made for the party over the years even though he's not part of the executive arm of government. His main challenge however is that he easily loses his temper. At his age he should manage his emotions. The fact that he came second in yesterday's contest is enough prove that people appreciate his efforts. As matured as he is, he needs to investigate allegations that gets to him before reacting. If you cannot manage different characters you can't be a leader. I personally like Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, unfortunately he may become his own enemy in his quest to want to be flag bearer of the NPP. He should remember this; with money you can buy food but not appetite, with money you can build a house but not a home, with money you can buy a bed but not sleep, with money you can buy drugs but not good health, with money you can buy V8 but not safely, with money you can plant 1000 hectares of crops but not good harvest, with money you can marry the most beautiful woman but not peace at home.
