Kwame Asare-Obeng, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, popularly known as A-Plus
Kwame Asare-Obeng, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, popularly known as A-Plus, has narrated how his appointment at the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) was terminated.
According to him, the intentions behind his appointment were not clearly communicated, and he continued doing what he had always done.
“You will go to a group of NPP people, and you will hear that A-Plus was looking for something he didn’t get, so he is angry. Then, another group will tell you that they gave me everything, and I am ungrateful.
“So, what this should tell you is that people are coming up with stories. There is one thing I like about this country: people don’t read; they just follow. And I like it when they live like that because it benefits me.
“You see, when too many people are intelligent, you will not succeed.
“The problem with the NPP is that they gave me a job expecting that, now that I am benefiting, I would stay silent. But they didn’t tell me this at the time of my appointment. As for me, I prefer talking to eating—so if you want to stop me from talking, then you might as well stop me from eating… because I want to talk.”
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on May 4, 2025, he asserted that his appointment was given by the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to silence his criticism.
However, as he continued voicing his opinions, his appointment was terminated.
He explained that although he worked for two months, he received only one month’s salary before being relieved of his post.
“So, they gave me a job at BOST. After one or two months in the role, they said I was talking too much, so they took my job. As for my salary, I got just one month’s pay. Now, anybody should go to BOST and ask: if you lift oil for one month, what is the maximum amount you can make?
“And go to BOST and ask them how many months they paid A-Plus, one month,” he added.
@channel1tvgh “The NPP gave me a job and suddenly expected me to stop sharing my views.” — Kwame Asare Obeng (A-Plus) recounts how he lost his job at BOST just 1–2 months in, about 8 years ago. He added he was only paid for one month. #UpsideDown ♬ original sound – Channel One TV
