KEN AGYAPONG DOESN’T NEED ANY APPOINTMENT…THE BASE MOVEMENT FOUNDER FIRES.
The Founder of the Base Movement, Dr. George Oti Bonsu, has fired shots at Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, for appointing former rival Kennedy Agyapong as Co-Chair of the party’s Policy Committee as part of its reorganisation.
He argued that those who took that decision lack the credentials, stressing that Mr. Agyapong is superior to those who made the appointment.
His statement comes after a purported letter on social media suggested that the former Assin Central MP had turned down the opportunity to become Co-Chair to Dr. Bawumia while the party navigates efforts toward effective political organisation for the 2028 election.
Later in the evening on the same day, the spokesperson for Ohene Agyapong, Kwasi Kwarteng, came out and stated that his boss hadn’t declined any offer from the Flagbearer of the NPP, saying it was “fake news.”
However, during the Base Movement free health screening exercise held at Asokore in the New Juaben North Municipal Assembly in the Eastern Region on Saturday, May 9, for mothers in the community ahead of Mother’s Day celebrations, Dr. Oti Bonsu reiterated that under no circumstances will Kennedy Ohene Agyapong work for anybody.
Something he described as “it won’t occur today nor tomorrow,” adding that Mr. Agyapong is a very respected man in Ghana and he would not belittle his integrity to that low.
On his part, 2020 Independent Presidential Candidate, Jacob Osei Yeboah, popularly known as JOY, added that Ghanaians have carried wine for a very long time, and it has made them drunk, and as a matter of fact, they can’t continue getting drunk under both NPP and NDC governance in 2028.
“It is about time Ghanaians break away from wine and carry water as well to see the difference between the two, and the water that is coming to save the country from the captivity of both NPP and NDC is The Base Movement, and we will force Kennedy Agyapong to become our leader in 2028 and lead us to the promised land,” he indicated.
The Acting Eastern Regional Chairman of the Base Movement, Victor Asare Gyapong, who spearheaded the free health screening, mentioned that he has been doing the exercise annually during every Mother’s Day celebration.
He explained that the free health screening aimed to offer an opportunity for women, especially the aged in New Juaben, to know their health status and take steps to stay healthy to enable them to celebrate their special day.
Mr. Gyapong further said he partnered with The Base Movement in his community initiative, a free health screening programme, to make it bigger because their group is for every Ghanaian.
As part of the screening exercise, they donated items like cloth, 32-inch digital TVs, refrigerators, irons, gas cylinders, pillows, and curtains, among others, to appreciate them for their relentless efforts rendered to the country.
