Kennedy  Agyapong is in the news again, but for the wrong reasons; launching a  vituperative attack on the Editor-In-Chief of the Bilingual Free Press,  Alhaji Bature Iddrisu.<\/p>\n<p>The verbal duel between the two began last  Friday on Adom FM, when Hon. Kennedy Agyapong verbally assaulted Alhaji  Bature for comments he allegedly made against him on Asempa FM the  previous day.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Kennedy Agyapong was reacting to allegations  by Alhaji Bature that he was a drug baron and that cocaine was his  source of wealth.<\/p>\n<p>The MP descended on the former host of \u201cAlhaji  and Alhaji\u201d on Radio Gold like a ton of bricks, claiming \u201che stinks and  that, he Bature, was just a mere herdsman\u201d when he, the MP left the  shores of Ghana for the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, forced him to cast aspersions at the NPP MP.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking  to the issue on X-FM, Alhaji Bature explained that on that fateful day  (Friday), he called into a discussion programme on Adom FM to warn Hon.  Agyapong to be very careful and that he (Bature) \u201cdoesn\u2019t respect people  who acquire their monies through illegal means like drugs.\u201d He was   emphatic that the Assin North MP \u201cis a known drug dealer\u201d and because of  that nobody paid much regard to him as a wealthy person.<\/p>\n<p>Alhaji  Bature also accused Hon. Kennedy Agyapong\u2019s mother of being a \u201cdupe\u201d.  According to him, 12 years ago, he bought an item from the NPP MP\u2019s  mother at the Maamobi market and upon realizing the item was defective,  asked for a return of his money, the woman would not budge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo  if you have money, how come your mother is duping people?..Where did he  get that money he is lavishing around with? How can he be giving  communities 500 million each at Akufo Addo\u2019s campaign rally?\u201d Alhaji  Bature asked.<\/p>\n<p>Alhaji Bature, who promised to  substantiate his allegation when called upon to do so, also accused the  outspoken MP of being a \u201cvisa-fraudster\u201d. He further alleged that Mr.  Agyapong\u2019s sister and brother-in-law cocaine dealers.<\/p>\n<p>To him,  rich folks do not brag unnecessarily about their wealth and accused the  CEO of Kencity Media of suffering from \u201cidentity crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Asuma Bandas don\u2019t go around boasting that they are rich, but we know that they are rich,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MP for Assin North, Hon.
