New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong seems to regret his indignant reaction at former President John Agyekum Kufuor for allegedly personally driving him (Ken) out from his (Kufuorļæ½s) house over his refusal to back the candidature of Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyeremateng ahead of the 2008 elections.
He described Mr. Kufuor as a ļæ½perfect gentlemanļæ½ but surrounded by sycophants, thus sometimes making it impossible for others to appreciate his (Kufuorļæ½s) good deeds within the NPP party.
Kennedy Agyapong was purported to have claimed that the former president drove him out of his residence in 2007, for not supporting Mr. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematengļæ½s bid to become NPPļæ½s flagbearer ahead of the 2008 polls.
Clearly riled at the treatment meted out to him, he reacted by vowing not to visit Mr. Kufuorļæ½s residence again after the unfortunate incident.
But the former president, in a statement signed by his Special Aide, Frank Agyekum, discounted the report and described the accusation as absolute ļæ½falsehood and maliciousļæ½.
ļæ½ļæ½no such discussion took place between him (President Kufuor) and Mr. Agyapong and therefore the said incident could not have happenedļæ½Mr. Agyapongļæ½s assertion can just not be true,ļæ½ the statement read.
However, an obviously contrite Kennedy Agyapong, upon sober reflection over his comments, noted again on AdomFM, a day after his infamous emotive outburst, that ļæ½he (Prez Kufour) has been a wonderful man in his life so therefore he will apologize for saying that he will not visit Mr. Kufuorļæ½s residence againļæ½
ļæ½Iļæ½m about to travel outside the country and Mr. Kufuor is also not in town, so when i return, I will go to his house and apologize to him,ļæ½ he said.
He is of the view that if ļæ½if Mrs. Konadu Agyemang Rawlings can visit Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, then why then must he (Ken) say he will not go to President Kufuorļæ½s residence ever again.ļæ½
Mr. Agyapong claimed that, some sycophants want to destroy his ļæ½fatherlyļæ½ relationship with Mr. Kufuor but he will go the extra mile to reunite with him but insisted that he was indeed sacked from the former presidentļæ½s house.
