We’re tired of big English, vote wisely – Ken Agyapong to NPP delegates

Firebrand Assin Central MP Ken Agyapong has urged delegates of the governing New Patriotic Party to vote wisely in the party’s presidential primaries. In his view, being worth the flagbearer slot is not just about the big English a person can speak but the sacrifices and hard work of the aspirant.

“Who in the party has worked more than me?” he asked, adding: “I have made lots of sacrifices for the party by using my money to fund party activities“.

“Today, they are saying I’m not presidential material”.

What is presidential material?” Mr Agyapong wondered. “Is a presidential material someone who can speak good English, wear suits and does not care about the welfare of the youth?”

“Between someone who says ‘good to see you’ and the other who encourages you to get up to go to work, which one of them is presidential material?” the maverick lawmaker asked.

He said: “We want jobs, we are not joking at all. We are tired of listening to big English all the time”.

He urged the delegates to make a wise decision.

“My advice goes to all the delegates to try and make the right choice in the election of a presidential candidate for the party”.

He said the delegates will suffer the consequences of a bad choice that risks taking the party into opposition.

“Make no mistake during the primaries to elect just any candidate”, Mr Agyapong warned, threatening: “I will use the little money I have for myself till I die and not spend on party members anymore”.
