“I swear to God, I will give Nana Addo, Bawumia a showdown,” these are words of Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, which went viral during the August 26 Super Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The MP who is also a flagbearer aspirant showed a lot of anger whiles speaking on his phone from Cape Coast where he cast his ballot.
He was heard saying that his agent in the North East Region had been chased into a room ostensibly by supporters of an unnamed opponent.
Did an incident like that happen?
According to GhanaWeb’s independent tracking of happenings in the said region, there was only one reported attack on a party agent, which turned out to be the agent of Alan Kyerematen, one Ali Zakaria.
That issue according to the Alan Camp was reported to the police in the region and that appropriate action was being taken.
Omanhene Yaw Adu Boakye, a morning show host on Kumasi-based Sompa FM also confirmed that Ken had mistook Alan’s agent as his rep in the region and gone on to throw a fit.
His account is as follows: “There is an information coming that Kwesi Nyantakyi is an agent for Hon Kennedy Agyapong in the North East. He granted an interview and said flatly that it was Alan’s issue that was reported to Ken.
“The assault was reported to him and he thought it was his agent. It was thereafter that his attention was drawn,” he pointed out before asking: “As it stands now, what is the word showdown? Is the showdown an agenda?”
