His post was accompanied with a screenshot of Agyapong's NPP is looting Ghana as if there is no tomorrow headline.
The Heaven Scandal by Ablakwa has since been released. It borders on alleged looting of prime lands at the Airport Residential Area in Accra.
Kennedy Agyapong, a known critic of corruption in the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government is on record as saying the looting by NPP is of such a magnitude that makes it extremely concerning adding that the stolen funds were being stashed abroad.
“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.
GhanaWeb checks show that he made the comments in the United States during his recent campaign trip ahead of the NPP’s November 4 flagbearership contest.
Agyapong, a Member of Parliament and flagbearer aspirant in the NPP has recently accused the NPP of political suicide by allowing for a capture of sorts by people currently wielding political power.
Agyapong will contest for the flagbearership slot of the NPP along with three other contenders including Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh.
The NPP has slated November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the party.
