In a heated revelation during a recent interview on Au MULTIMEDIA, popular Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger and Alex Tete, a lawyer representing Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, made startling claims regarding the internal dynamics of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). They alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was angered by actions of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, which purportedly led to a strained relationship within the party’s leadership.
The discussion, centered on Kennedy Agyapong’s presidential bid in 2028, alleged that the President publicly expressed disappointment in Dr. Bawumia over what was described as “disgraceful acts.” These comments have stirred widespread reactions, both online and offline, with many speculating on the future of the NPP’s internal unity.
Afia Schwar’s Perspective
Afia Schwarzenegger, known for her controversial takes, did not mince words in pointing out what she believes to be a betrayal of trust. According to her, President Akufo-Addo’s supposed anger stems from Dr. Bawumia’s failure to uphold key party principles, and also taking against policies implement by former President Nana Addo like E-Levy, Betting Taxes, Reduce Ports duties reduction of petrol and diesel, which ultimately cast a shadow on his vice-presidential legacy. ” I will gift the person who destroy our former President Nana Addo statue at Takoradi $1,000 for his or her good work” Afia claimed.
“In a surprising twist, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has made statements during a recent speech that have sparked widespread debate across the political landscape. The President’s remarks, which appeared to acknowledge the possibility President John Dramani Mahama winning the 2024 election, have drawn mixed reactions from both supporters and critics” Afia Schwar stated. She further claimed that Nana Addo wants Kennedy Agyapong to Contest for the 2028 presidential elections.
