“The way the NPP is looting this country, you will think there is no tomorrow. You steal all this money and stash same abroad, what do you mean?” he is heard stating in a video clip that has been shared widely on social media.

“The youth of this country are not working yet you are intimidating people. I will put my life on the line and defend them,” he stressed.

In a recent outburst tailored along the same tangent, Mr. Agaypong stated emphatically that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia stands no chance against John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 elections.

Sounding very furious during a recent radio interview on Kings Radio, a US-based media outlet, on September 24, 2023, the aspiring flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) put forth an allegation suggesting that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has made commitments to assign the vice presidential position to seven Members of Parliament from the Ashanti Region.

Mr Agyapong further expressed his concern that if Dr Bawumia were to assume the role of the party’s flagbearer, it could potentially result in the NPP being relegated to the opposition. He argued that even in the event of a victory, Dr Bawumia would be unable to surpass the popularity and influence of Mahama.

“What they are doing in the Ashanti Region has intimidated 47 MPs, all because of one vice president position. They have promised seven of the Ashanti regional MPs for the vice president’s slots, and they are pushing everybody because they want the vice president position,” Agyapong said.

He added: “One vice president, 17 people are contesting for the slot, and because of that, they have been blinded; they know they will lose, because how can the vice president beat Mahama?

“It is not possible upon all his utterances. Yet, because of greed and selfishness, they want us to go into opposition and I will resist that, I won’t allow us to go into opposition.”
