Apologise for Calling Bawumia a Liar- Ken Agyapong Told

The camp of aspiring Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has demanded an unqualified apology after his opponent, Kennedy Agyapong, branded him as a liar.

This stems from an accusation by the former Assin Central MP that Dr Bawumia deliberately distorted and misled party members about the political history of the late Professor Albert Adu Boahen, one of the NPP’s founding figures.

In a statement, the  Bawumia Campaign expressed concern about the comments as it denied any comment of that sort, and it challenged the accuser to produce proof.

“In the video, Hon. Agyapong is seen falsely accusing HE. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia made remarks regarding the health status of Mr Albert Adu Boahen and a so-called decision not to participate in the 1996 NPP primaries.”

“For absolute clarity, Dr Bawumia has never made the statements that have been attributed to him. We ask Hon. Kennedy Agyapong to produce the video or audio evidence without further delay if he stands by this baseless attack.”

Condemning the derogatory remarks of Ken, it stated that wrongful attributions have the potential to unnecessarily mislead the public and inflame tensions within our Party.

“We urge Hon. Agyapong to urgently apologise to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the false statement he has made about him. Dr Bawumia believes that as leaders, we must always state our views devoid of tantrums and personal insults while maintaining truthfulness, decorum, and restraint at all times.”
