Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the former Chief Executive of the National Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programme (NEIP), has said he never contracted the Host of With All Due Respect on Loud Silence TV, Kevin Taylor, to sabotage Kennedy Agyapong’s 2023 campaign.
According to Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, those allegations levelled against him of contracting Kevin Taylor to derail Kennedy Agyapong’s 2023 campaign flagbearer campaign are false.
Speaking on Movement TV, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah stated, “Someone commented on my Facebook wall that no reasonable person in the NPP will believe Kevin Taylor, but unfortunately, some people believe what he said.
All the things he said about Kennedy Agyapong were lies. Kevin Taylor did not come to campaign for us. All the things he said about Kennedy, he did not provide any evidence to support them. All the things he said about me and others, he has never provided evidence to support them.
Today, a big defamation is on him; yesterday, I saw Ace Ankomah is also chasing him. He was smuggled into this country because of the judicial reset”, he added.
The NPP man asserted that he respects Kennedy Agyapong so much and will not speak ill against him, even though he supported Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Ofosu Nkansah explained, “I respect Kennedy Agyapong so much, and I won’t speak against him. Even though I didn’t support his bid, I would never do such a thing because we are all members of the same party, and we will need each other for the general elections”.
“So, the assertions that I contracted Kevin Taylor to destroy Kennedy Agyapong are completely false. I haven’t done such a thing, and I won’t do that.”
Ofosu Nkansah noted that Kevin Taylor’s comments made back in 2023 during the NPP internal campaign period are now being used to hash a fake plot against him.
“Kevin Taylor made those statements in 2023, during the campaign period, and some people are now using that to fabricate stories against me,” he added.
In related news, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah has also called on the Kennedy Agyapong team to stop labelling Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the cause of the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 election.
According to Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, Kennedy Agyapong has always insisted that the NPP lost the 2024 election in 2022 due to the economic crisis Ghanaians faced.
He noted that if Kennedy Agyapong made those assertions, anyone who represented the NPP in the 2024 elections would have lost.
In a post via social media, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah stated, “If Hon Ken admits we lost the election in 2022, then it simply means that even if he had won the primaries, we would have still lost.”
“His People should stop blaming Dr Bawumia for our defeat then. We lost the election through our collective actions, not because of our candidate”, he added.
Kofi Ofosu Nkansah further recounted that Kennedy Agyapong cannot shirk himself from the NPP’s defeat as he was a Board Chairman of one of Ghana’s biggest state institutions.
He highlighted, “Ken supporters should stop saying their candidate wasn’t part of the Government. He was the Board Chairman of one of the biggest state institutions, Ghana Gas. His wife was also a big Board Chair.
Ofosu Nkansah noted that Mr Agyapong had more influence in the Government than 99% of NPP appointees.
He had more influence in the Government than 99% of NPP appointees, even when he wasn’t an appointee in the first term. Me that I was CEO of an agency which was like an Internet cafe (ADC) koraa wouldn’t say I wasn’t part of the Government then. Monnya saa ns3m no ka,” he added in a post shared via social media.
