Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, has reminded his critics of his status in the NPP as a duly elected regional chairman and not a personal assistant, or a member of the former Vice President’s campaign team.
Abronye hit the headlines earlier in the week when he responded furiously to a claim by former health minister Richard Anane that he (Abronye) insulted former President Kufuor at an NPP meeting.
Abronye’s scathing response to Anane was condemned as going overboard, with some urging former Vice President Bawumia to call Abronye to order.
However, responding to the issue on his Ohia TV, Abronye rejected the roping in of Bawumia, saying he is a duly elected regional Chairman of the party, and as such cannot be controlled by a presidential candidate whom he does not work for and is also not a member of his campaign team.
“You don’t know the difference between a regional chairman and a campaign team member…,” Abronye responded, in his jab directed at journalist Nana Jantua, who called out Bawumia over Abronye’s utterances.
“I am a regional chairman duly elected and you must know the difference between a regional chairman and a campaign chairman or campaign team member. I don’t work for Bawumia. I’m not his personal assistant. A regional chairman is above that and there is no presidential candidate who will ask a regional chairman to be his personal assistant or a campaign team member. Regional chairmen are above that and no one can stop me.”
On Richard Anane, Abronye served strong notice that he would never stop responding to the former minister if he keeps spreading lies against him.
“Nobody in NPP can ask me to keep quiet if Richard Anane lies against me. If he mentions my name 10 times and lies against me 10 times, I will respond 10 times that he’s a liar. He came out and lied against me. If he attacks me 10 times, I will attack him 10 times,” he said.
Feud With Ken Agyapong
On his feud with NPP flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, Abronye said he only responds to Kennedy’s ”lies and propaganda” and that he will never stop doing that on his platform.
“Members of the Kennedy Campaign who don’t have any message were circulating the propaganda against me and thinking that would discourage me from responding to Kennedy Agyapong’s lies and propaganda.”
“If that is your thinking then it is a joke. You people say all sorts of dirty things on Oman FM and Net 2 against Bawumia. But I will not go that way. What I have vowed to do is to keep exposing the lies and propaganda of Kennedy Agyapong against Bawumia. This is why they are not happy with me. I keep exposing their lies and propaganda here and they call it insults. I will continue to expose Kennedy Agyapong’s propaganda.”
