BAWUMIA TEAM DENIES KENNEDY AGYAPONG $800 MILLION CLAIMS

The Campaign Team of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has denied claims by Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong
that he has been offered $8, 000, 000.00 (eight hundred million dollars) to step down as a flag bearer
aspirant.
“The Vice President and his team consider this $800 million claim as absolutely ridiculous, and it shows
gross disregard for the intelligence of Ghanaians,” said a statement signed by Mr. *Gideon Boako, Ph.D,
Spokesperson of the Bawumia Campaign. The release was titled ‘CLAIMS BY HON. KENNEDY
AGYAPONG OF BEING OFFERED $800m TO STEP DOWN FALSE’.
The team stated that it has come to their attention that a fellow contender in the NPP Flagbearership
race, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong has alleged that he was offered a colossal $800 million to step down from
the presidential primary race.
In response, the Bawumia Campaign stated that the Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has not
met privately with Kennedy Agyapong since he entered into the race.
It stated that the Vice President has never instructed anybody to meet with Kennedy Agyapong, or his
assigns to negotiate anything in respect of this contest.
“The Vice President and his team consider this $800 million claim as absolutely ridiculous, and it shows
gross disregard for the intelligence of Ghanaians,” the release stated.
It further added, “Dr. Bawumia is, and has always been confident that by the Grace of God, he will defeat
Hon. Kennedy Agyapong quite well on November 4th and has never entertained any wish for him to step
down from the contest.
“It is instructive to note that the latest allegation by Kennedy Agyapong, is a rehash of a similar allegation
he made about a month ago, claiming without proof, that he was offered money to step down and be a
running mate to Dr. Bawumia – a baseless claim we publicly denied on September 30, 2023.
“The Vice President is a man noted for his modesty, and he remains committed to his life-long values of
serving people with his intellect.
“While urging the public to disregard such outrageous lies, directed subtly at the Bawumia Campaign, we
also reiterate Dr. Bawumia's commitment to running a decent campaign devoid of personality attacks,
lies, and insults to preserve the unity of our great party,” the release concluded.
