Kennedy Agyapong, the MP for Assin Central has warned that he will not return to Parliament if President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo heeds to the demands of the lawmaker for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
The maverick politician alleged on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday (22 February) that Safo is demanding for the removal of Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin before she would return to Parliament.
“If the President heeds to Adwoa Safo’s demands then I will also go to the US and demand that the President resigns before I come to Parliament,” Agyapong told Kwaku Nhyira-Addo.
“The way Adwoa Safo is treating the party shows that we’re in opposition and this shouldn’t be tolerated at all. I beg like a kid in the NPP before I receive anything; it is not as rosy as it seems out there, we all have problems but at the end of the day it is the party that comes first.”
“Why are we allowing ourselves to be threatened so much? Have we not been in opposition before? Why are we allowing one person to threaten us? If we lose, we lose!” Agyapong said.
Agyapong said the Dome-Kwabenya MP must apologise to the New Patriotic Party.
“Politically, I think Adwoa Safo is wrong. She should rather apologise to the party and they should stop begging her,” he said.
