I’m a regional chairman — not a member of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team — Abronye replies to critics

Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, has reminded his critics that he is a duly elected regional chairman of the party, not a personal assistant or a member of former Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team.

Abronye hit the headlines earlier in the week after he responded angrily to a claim by former Health Minister Dr. Richard Anane that he had insulted former President John Agyekum Kufuor at an NPP meeting.

His scathing response to Dr. Anane was criticised by some as excessive, with calls for Dr. Bawumia to rein him in. Speaking on Onua TV to address the controversy, Abronye rejected suggestions that Dr. Bawumia should be dragged into the matter, stressing that as regional chairman he cannot be controlled by a presidential candidate.

“You don’t know the difference between a regional chairman and a campaign team member because you’re uninformed,” Abronye shot back, addressing a jab at Nhyira FM journalist Nana Jantua, who had attacked Dr. Bawumia over Abronye’s statements.

“I am a duly elected regional chairman, 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 no presidential candidate 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 Dr. Anane, Abronye warned that he will continue to respond if the former minister keeps spreading what he described as lies.

“Nobody in the NPP can ask me to keep quiet if Richard Anane lies against me. If he mentions my name ten times and lies ten times, I will respond ten times that he’s a liar. He came out and lied against me. If he attacks me ten times, I will attack him ten times,” he said.

Feud with Ken

Regarding his feud with NPP flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, Abronye said he is only responding to what he called Agyapong’s “lies and propaganda” and will not stop using his platform to expose them.

“Members of the Kennedy campaign who don’t have any message circulated propaganda against me thinking that would discourage me from responding to Kennedy Agyapong’s lies and propaganda. If that is their thinking, then it is a joke. People say all sorts of dirty things on Oman FM and Net2 against Bawumia, but I will not go that way. I have vowed 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 they call it insults. I will continue to expose Kennedy Agyapong’s propaganda.”
