During a discussion on Okay FM on Monday, June 9, 2025, monitored by GhanaWeb, Aboagye expressed concern over comments made by Kennedy Agyapong and his allies, describing their approach as counterproductive and capable of causing division within the party.
He also pushed back against allegations made by Kwasi Kwarteng, a spokesperson for Agyapong, who claimed that the recently concluded nationwide “Thank You Tour” by the party leadership and Dr. Bawumia was actually a covert campaign.
Aboagye dismissed this, explaining that the event involved the participation of all national party executives and was meant to appreciate party members, not promote any individual.
Aboagye warned Agyapong’s supporters that the nature of their public commentary could negatively impact their fortunes in the party’s primaries.
He urged them to avoid taking on the role of victims if the outcome doesn’t favor them.
He emphasized that NPP delegates make informed decisions based on a candidate’s integrity and capability, rather than on inflammatory rhetoric or ethnic considerations.
Aboagye added that Dr. Bawumia has maintained a respectful approach throughout his political journey, avoiding personal attacks—a quality he believes sets him apart.
He stated that similar strategies previously employed by some aspirants had already cost them electoral success in earlier internal contests.
“Dr Bawumia has never been heard talking badly about someone just to win votes, so why would they do that? This is the same approach they took that caused them to lose the 2023 NPP primaries,” he stated.
