Suspended General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Kwabena Agyepong was left red-faced at the inaugural ceremony of President Nana Akufo Addo last Saturday.

An awkward encounter ensued between the suspended General Secretary and the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako during the ceremony which caught the attention of several dignitaries who attended the function.

Upon spotting Mr. Kwabena Agyepong seated among guests at the ceremony grounds, Mr. Bernard Antwi- Boasiako popularly known as Chairman ‘Wontumi’, personally told the suspended General Secretary to vacate his seat since his presence at the venue wasn’t needed.

The furore caught the attention of Dr. K.K Sarpong and Jacob Osei Yeboah who swiftly moved in to calm tempers by begging Chairman ‘Wontumi’ to allow sleeping dogs lie.

Hours after the news broke; Peacefmonline.com contacted Mr. Bernard Antwi- Boasiako to find out from him why he acted the way he did against Mr. Kwabena Agyepong.

According to him, Mr. Agyepong has never wished the NPP well after he was elected into office and manifested it by fueling day to day bickering in the party.

He added that it was under the “bad leadership of Mr. Agyepong that several sponsored violent acts broke out in the NPP”.

“I have my ears on the ground as Regional Chairman and I know the role Kwabena Agypong and Afoko played in the violence that took place in the NPP. It even led to death of our late Upper East Regional Chairman Adams Mahama”.

“Such people are not needed in the party. He wasn’t part when we struggled to get the party to power. He absence wouldn’t mean anything to us if he leaves and he must do that”, he said.
